Regalia

The Grey School maintains uniform standards for Highspire gatherings, approved School outings, and participation in vGSW. Appropriate clothing helps pupils prepare for the setting and preserves a recognizable University appearance. Lodge clothing and earned uniforms also provide a considered way to represent an affiliation or accomplishment.

Faculty or Administration may establish additional clothing requirements for a ceremony, field activity, presentation, or other event. Those requirements will be communicated in advance so participants can prepare.

In-person uniform

The standard in-person uniform consists of brown trousers with either a black Grey School polo shirt or an approved Lodge shirt. Brown shorts may be worn when the weather and planned activities make them suitable.

Additional Lodge clothing and accessories may be worn when they are available through the School's official Magick Alley shop.

Shoes must be practical for walking around Highspire and taking part safely in School activities. Open-toed shoes and flip-flops are not permitted at Highspire, including items of those kinds sold through Magick Alley. Such footwear may be worn on other approved School outings when the location and activity make it appropriate.

Ritual and ceremonial attire

A hoodless Tao robe is the School's physical ceremonial uniform. It may be required for designated rituals, formal ceremonies, or other activities where ceremonial attire is appropriate.

Pupils need to purchase a robe only when it is required for a scheduled School activity. The event instructions will give advance notice and provide a link to a reputable vendor offering a suitable robe.

vGSW Campus uniforms

Several approved uniforms are available in vGSW. They reflect differing levels of participation and accomplishment. Pupils may choose among the uniforms they have obtained, with all pieces remaining within the approved Campus system.

Basic Lodge Uniform

The Basic Lodge Uniform is available to all enrolled pupils. It can be collected from the Magick Alley uniform chest beside the non-player character Apprentice Andrew. The price is one Wizcoin, and the uniform provides the approved clothing needed for ordinary Campus attendance.

Fine Lodge Uniform

The Fine Lodge Uniform is a more formal option sold in Magick Alley. The principal uniform costs 50 Wizcoins, the matching hat costs 25 Wizcoins, and an optional Lodge scarf costs 25 Wizcoins. These pieces may be worn together or combined with other approved components.

Moot Uniform

The Moot Uniform is earned through attendance at Grey School Moots. Each qualifying attendance awards one Moot Token. During a Moot, pupils may visit the Armillary Sphere outside Kayser Hall to exchange tokens together with the required modest Wizcoin payment for uniform pieces.

Prestigious Lodge Uniform

The Prestigious Lodge Uniform recognizes sustained participation and familiarity with the School. Ordinary purchase eligibility requires all of the following:

• Personal Campus Standing of Tier 7.

• Membership in a Lodge whose Patron has reached Tier 5.

• Payment of 250 Wizcoins.

The uniform may also be awarded to Castellans and to Faculty whose sustained service and performance have been judged exceptional.

Those who wear it should be prepared to assist others with reasonable questions about their Lodge, the Campus, or School life. Its public meaning rests on the experience and knowledge associated with earning it. Any authority to act as an officer still comes from an appointment to that office.

Pupils who earn or receive the uniform are expected to carry that recognition with appropriate conduct. A visible mark of achievement brings an expectation that its wearer will use their familiarity with the School helpfully.

Approved variations

Uniform pieces and accessories must come from approved Grey School sources unless the Headmaster or Master of Pupils has granted specific permission. This applies to Lodge attachments, hats, scarves, insignia, and other additions.

Personal adjustments should preserve the uniform's recognizable design and academic character. Outside clothing or accessories that substantially alter its intended appearance require approval before being worn as part of the official Campus uniform.

Uniform requirements may be adjusted temporarily for a particular class, scenario, Moot, ceremony, or other School activity. When that occurs, the event organizer or responsible member of Faculty will provide the instructions applicable to the activity.
