Both sleeves display red rectangular patches beneath dark blue shoulder titles embroidered in yellow with “8th CANADIAN HUSSARS (PRINCESS LOUISE’S).” A red, navy, and gold braided lanyard is looped around the right shoulder and under the arm. The right sleeve bears an additional circular embroidered patch depicting a helicopter, indicating an aviation-related role or later affiliation.
