Northern Ireland Police Commando Sweater

PSNI Commando Sweater

This is a commando sweater issued to the Police Service of Northern Ireland. A commando sweater is the pullover that British forces wear over a shirt as a uniform layer, with structured shoulders and a ribbed finish. It is knitted from a cotton and wool blend in a dark green-grey and carries the force's POLICE crest patch on the left chest. It makes a warm everyday layer, and its genuine PSNI provenance appeals to collectors of British police and military uniform.

Features

• Cotton And Wool Blend — Wool brings warmth and cotton keeps the knit softer against a shirt collar.
• V-Neck Pullover Cut — The ribbed V-neck sits cleanly over a collared shirt or T-shirt, as it was worn on duty.
• Shoulder Epaulettes — Fabric shoulder straps, called epaulettes, sit on panels across each shoulder and are where rank slides would be fitted.
• PSNI Crest Patch — A bell-shaped woven patch on the left chest shows the Police Service Northern Ireland star badge above the word POLICE.
• Upper Sleeve Tabs — Each upper arm has a dark fabric tab as part of the original uniform layout.
• Ribbed Cuffs And Hem — Close rib knit at the wrists and waist holds the sweater in place and keeps out drafts.
• Fine Ribbed Knit — The body is a tight, fine-ribbed knit that keeps a neat, uniform look.
• Dark Green-Grey Color — The subdued shade matches the dark uniform worn by Northern Ireland police officers.

Issued To The PSNI

The sweater comes from the Police Service of Northern Ireland, whose star badge and name are woven into the chest patch. The shoulder epaulettes, sleeve tabs and crest are original uniform details. Collectors and reenactors get a piece of real issued British police kit, and anyone else gets a warm cotton and wool pullover built to a service standard.
