Officer uniforms in the Mistborn series begin as the rigid, square-cut militaristic coats of the Final Empire's skaa army, distinguished by front buttons and shoulder insignia. Ham's modification—ripping off the sleeves to create a vest—hints at the coming rebellion against imperial conformity. As the series progresses, these uniforms evolve from symbols of oppression into markers of the new world's shifting power structures, reflecting the transition from imperial control to the fractured leadership of the post-Catacendre era.
