British Metropolitan Police Anorak

Met Police Anorak

This navy blue anorak was issued to London's Metropolitan Police as an outer layer for officers on duty outdoors. It has a high stand-up collar, a covered front closure and roomy flapped pockets, cut to go over uniform. Collectors of British police kit, reenactors and anyone after a plain, well-made navy jacket with real service history will find what they want here.

Features

• Cotton-Polyester Shell — The outer fabric blends cotton with polyester, pairing cotton's softer hand with the durability of a synthetic fiber.
• Navy Blue Colorway — A deep police navy with no camouflage pattern, so the jacket works as plain everyday outerwear as well as uniform.
• High Stand-Up Collar — The tall collar rises well up the neck when zipped, giving extra cover against wind.
• Covered Front Closure — A full-length placket runs over the front fastening to keep weather off the closure.
• Hook-And-Loop Name Strip — A black strip on the chest takes a name tape or ID patch, and you can leave it bare.
• Snap Shoulder Epaulettes — Fabric straps across each shoulder fasten with snaps, the style police uniform uses to carry insignia or number slides.
• Upper Chest Tabs — Two fabric loops below the collar give you a place to clip a radio microphone or other small accessory.
• Twin Lower Flap Pockets — Two large pockets at the hips close under flaps so their contents stay put.

Issued Specification

This anorak is authentic British-issue clothing made for the Metropolitan Police, not a commercial copy. The epaulettes, chest name strip and radio tabs are original duty fittings, which makes it a strong piece for police and uniform collectors. The cut is loose enough to layer over a sweater or fleece in colder weather.
