French F1 Police Shirt

French F1 Zip-Neck Shirt

The F1 is the French long-sleeve zip-neck shirt, and this is the sky blue police version. It is a knit jersey layer you can wear on its own in mild weather or under a jacket or sweater when it turns cold. The quarter-zip collar opens to vent heat and closes to block a draft, so one shirt covers a wide range of temperatures. Collectors, reenactors building a French police impression, and anyone who wants a plain, practical base layer will all find a use for it.

Features

• Genuine French Issue — This shirt was made for French government service, not for the civilian fashion market.
• Sky Blue Colorway — The light blue shade marks it as the police pattern of the F1 rather than the military green or khaki versions.
• Quarter-Zip Collar — A short zipper at the throat opens for ventilation and closes snugly against wind.
• Fold-Down Collar — The collar sits flat when open and stands up around the neck when zipped for extra cover.
• Knit Jersey Body — The soft, stretchy knit fabric moves with you and layers comfortably under outerwear.
• Banded Cuffs — Finished cuffs hold the sleeves in place at the wrist so they do not ride up under a jacket.
• Sleeve Tab — A small tab is sewn near the cuff on one sleeve.
• Long Sleeves — Full-length sleeves give arm coverage as a standalone shirt or as a warm under layer.

Original French Issue

The F1 shirt is a long-running French service design, built around a simple zip-neck pattern that works as both a duty shirt and a base layer. This sky blue example belongs to the police side of that family. Because it is original issue, it carries the authenticity that matters to collectors and reenactors, along with a plain cut that suits everyday wear.
