includes decoration in the dress
code, members of the society may
wear their breast badge on the left

Remembrance Sunday, they will of-
ten wear a lounge suit. If decorations
are fitting, they may wear a neck
badge on a ribbon under their collar.
Overcoat
If a member of the society is wear-
ing an overcoat to an event they’re
attending, they cannot wear one of
the typical insignia decorations of the
Imperial Society. Instead, they should
mount their full-size orders, decora-
