The prompt
In Chapter 9 of Ever Dark Academy, Balthazar provides Grayson with this uniform, which he claims that all the students wear. If you haven’t read the surrounding chapters yet, Ever Dark Academy Book 1 is free, but here’s the passage where it’s described:
Grayson stared at his reflection in the full length mirror in the clothes that Balthazar had brought him. He wore khaki pants, a white, button-down shirt, and a black v-neck sweater. There was a crest on the sweater located just over his heart. It was embroidered in rich, jewel-toned colors with a rather gothic-looking school building in the center and symbols for all of the Bloodlines along the outer edge. Balthazar had also provided him with a long, black dress coat–also with the crest–a pair of black leather gloves lined with fur, and a crimson cashmere scarf. Overall, it looked like some rich, preppy school boy outfit
Grayson sighed and shook his head. The one truly good thing about it–well, there were two things–were that no one would ever recognize him in this outfit and the clothes were warm. On the street, fashion didn’t matter, but warmth did. If something kept you warm it was worth its weight in gold. These clothes were incredibly finely made and they would last. They were probably the nicest things he’d ever worn.
There was a quick knock on the bedroom door. Before Grayson could say anything, Balthazar poked his head in.
“Oh, it’s perfect!” Balthazar enthused from the doorway as he took in Grayson’s outfit.
“It fits all right. Not exactly my style, but I guess it will do,” he said as he walked over to the side table and took a bite of a sandwich.
