The shirt element usually has a placket front and sleeves with no cuffs. These uniforms were white with red piping on the placket, shoulders, sleeve cuffs and pants. The road uniforms are grey with blue piping on the collar/placket and sleeve ends. The "baju" itself does not have the "cekak musang" collar or any placket. However, the normal, separate placket on a shirt gives a more symmetrical appearance. The two sides of the placket often overlap. The jack was struck while a trumpeter played "Joan's placket is torn".
