Cuffs have two sets of 3 button holes; they are to be turned up and worn with cuff links; they are adjustable in order to shorten or lenthen the sleeve by 1cm. The proper right centre front edge is bound with a black synthetic ribbon. A similar, but narrower, ribbon is used to trim the inner neck. Upper rear shoulders are reinforced with an additonal layer of fabric. The Chorus' logo is machine embroidered onto the left chest using silver thread. The logo has a circular design which has a diameter of 8cm. The logo reads: South Wales Gay Men's Chorus / Côr Meibion Hoyw De Cymru and in the centre there is a stylised symbol created from a mix of a Welsh dragon and a Treble Clef. On the reverse of the logo are remains of white non-woven fabric which was used to reinforce the embroidery.
