Royal Mail Soft-Shell Jacket

Royal Mail Uniform Jacket

This is a genuine Royal Mail uniform soft-shell jacket, the zip-front layer in the UK postal service's charcoal grey and red. Soft-shell is a stretchy woven outer fabric made for active work in cool weather, so it moves with you instead of feeling like a heavy coat. It suits collectors of British uniforms, anyone who wants an authentic piece of UK working dress, and people who just want a light everyday jacket with a recognizable history.

Features

• Soft-Shell Construction — The stretch woven outer gives a trim, flexible layer that works on its own or over a shirt or fleece.
• Embroidered Royal Mail Logo — The red and gold Royal Mail cruciform badge is embroidered on the left chest.
• Red Shoulder Yokes — Contrasting red panels across both shoulders carry the Royal Mail livery colors.
• White Contrast Piping — Thin white piping runs along the shoulder yokes and around each forearm near the cuff.
• Stand-Up Collar — A high collar closes around the neck when the jacket is zipped to the top.
• Full-Length Front Zip — A single zip runs from hem to collar for quick on and off.
• Zippered Hand Pockets — Two vertical-entry pockets at the lower front close with zips to hold keys, phone or gloves.
• Shaped Front Panels — Seamed front panels give a tailored line rather than a boxy cut.

Genuine Postal Issue

The jacket comes from Royal Mail's own uniform supply, the outfit worn by UK postal workers, and it carries the service's branding and color scheme. Issued uniform is made to the organization's specification rather than to a retail brief, which is why it appeals to collectors and to people who want the authentic article. The charcoal body with red shoulders is instantly recognizable as Royal Mail working dress.
