British Police Black Fleece Jacket

UK Police Patrol Fleece

This black fleece jacket is genuine British police issue, the mid-layer officers wore on patrol under a duty jacket or on its own in cool weather. It carries the blue-and-white checkered band across the chest that identifies UK police uniform, plus hook-and-loop panels for badges and insignia. Collectors, reenactors, film and prop departments, and anyone who wants a solid black fleece built to a service specification will find it worth a look.

Features

• Sillitoe Check Chest Band — A blue-and-white checkered strip, the pattern long used to mark British police uniforms, runs across the chest and around the arms.
• Full-Length Front Zip — A single zip runs from hem to collar so the jacket opens fully and goes on over other layers easily.
• Stand-Up Collar — The collar zips up to cover the neck against wind and cold.
• Two Vertical Zip Pockets — Zippered slash pockets on the front keep small items secure and double as hand warmers.
• Hook-And-Loop Insignia Panels — Velcro-type tabs on the chest accept a name or POLICE badge and rank or number patches, and a panel on the upper sleeve takes further insignia.
• Shoulder Epaulettes — Buttoned shoulder straps carry rank slides, as on the rest of the issued uniform.
• Ribbed Cuffs And Waistband — Knit ribbing at the wrists and hem closes out drafts and keeps the jacket from riding up.
• Cotton And Polyester Fleece — The fleece body combines cotton and polyester for a soft, warm layer that suits daily wear.

Issue Specification

This is the fleece supplied to British police officers, cut to the service's own pattern, not a costume piece. Individual jackets vary: some arrive with the blue POLICE badge fitted to the chest panel, while others have bare hook-and-loop ready for your own patches. The plain black fleece body and checkered band make it an accurate choice for UK police uniform displays and period kit.
