German Police Summer Jacket

Had this jacket for about a year now and I'm absolutely in love with it. I came back to see if I could purchase another but sadly it's out of stock. I legit wear this jacket all the time (and get endless compliments) when the weather is cooler, and I'm looking forwards to fall/winter so I could bring this bad boy out again. 10/10 would definitely purchase again.

I love how light the material is on this Polizei Summer Jacket. This has everything I want in a light jacket, but my only gripe about it is how short it is. I fits flush at the waist granting it a tendency to ride up when sitting and standing, making it a deal breaker for me.

I reviewed the first two below, that I liked so much I ordered these two. The other review applies here, except a few differences. These two still made by Ziegler, but a year earlier, 2003. Tagged size 56, others were 54, so these being tagged larger worried me. I tried them on; with no noticeable difference. I compared them in different ways by matching seams of both size jackets; shoulder to shoulder, shoulder to cuff, armpit to cuff, side to side. I don't find any difference. So, that maybe explains the size choice being given as "XL (54-56)".Normally, a 54 is a U.S. 44, and a 56 is a U.S. 46.

All four look identical down to the patch and zippers. If you're not bothered by the "POLIZEI" back and patch, they are great jackets, worth several times the price.

FWIW, I looked it up, and it is pronounced "polizz-high". These were worn by the German border police from 1975-2006, when they switched to more American styled uniforms. The shoulder patch denotes which German state the officer was assigned to. Mine contain a river and a horse, which is for North Rhine-Westphalia, in the NW corner of Germany. The website photo (which does very poor justice to these jackets) has the same patch.
