5.11 Tactical Combat Shirt

Short Sleeve Duty Shirt

The 5.11 Tactical Combat Shirt is a short-sleeve uniform shirt cut in dark navy ripstop, for warm-weather shifts where a long-sleeve blouse is too much. Two flapped chest pockets carry a notebook, pen or phone, and a hook-and-loop panel takes a name tape or unit patch. It suits security staff, law enforcement, range officers and anyone who wants a tidy, uniform-style shirt that holds up to daily wear.

Features

• Ripstop Fabric — The cloth is woven with a reinforcing grid, visible as a fine checked texture, so a small snag cannot run into a large tear.
• Dark Navy Color — A deep navy that matches common police, security and corrections uniform standards.
• Concealed Button Placket — A fabric fly covers the front buttons, giving a clean face with nothing to catch on gear.
• Two Flapped Chest Pockets — Covered pockets on each side of the chest keep small items in place when you bend or move.
• Hook-And-Loop ID Panel — A loop-faced strip above the left chest pocket accepts a name tape, rank or unit patch with a hook backing.
• Shoulder Epaulets — Buttoned straps on each shoulder hold rank slides or secure a radio mic cord.
• Point Collar With Top Button — A conventional collar buttons at the neck for a formal look or sits open in the heat.
• Short Sleeves — Sleeves end above the elbow for better airflow on hot days and under body armor.

Build And Fit

The shirt is made by 5.11 Tactical, a company that designs workwear for law enforcement and first responders, and the inside label lists a polyester and cotton blend. The pockets, epaulets and placket are stitched in matching navy thread so the shirt reads as one solid color. It has a straight hem that can be worn tucked into duty trousers or left out.
