British Police Cyclone II Patrol Jacket

British Police Patrol Jacket

The Cyclone II is a black patrol jacket issued to British police officers for outdoor duty on the beat. It has a covered front closure, four flap pockets and a POLICE identification patch on the chest, so it reads as UK police at a glance. Collectors of British uniform, film and stage costumers, and anyone who wants a plain black working jacket with plenty of pocket space will find it useful.

Features

• Black Patrol Colorway — The jacket is solid black throughout, the standard color for British police outerwear.
• Covered Front Closure — A full-length placket runs over the front fastening, giving a clean front and keeping the closure out of the weather.
• POLICE Chest Patch — A white-on-black POLICE identification patch sits on the wearer's left chest pocket flap.
• Two Chest Flap Pockets — Each chest pocket has a covering flap to keep a notebook, phone or small kit in place.
• Two Lower Flap Pockets — Large flapped pockets at the hips hold gloves, a torch or other larger items.
• Shoulder Epaulettes — Epaulettes, the fabric straps across each shoulder, are where UK police uniform carries rank or collar-number slides.
• Chest Loop Tabs — A small tab above each chest pocket gives a fixing point for a radio microphone or similar accessory.
• Point Collar — A conventional fold-down collar sits close around the neck for a tidy uniform look.
• Hip-Length Cut — The body drops past the waist to cover a duty belt, with full-length sleeves.
