Royal Mail Soft-Shell Vest

Royal Mail Issue Vest

This is a genuine Royal Mail soft-shell vest, the sleeveless layer issued to UK postal staff who spend their working day outdoors. It keeps wind off the core while leaving the arms free for carrying, reaching and loading. It works the same way off the round: over a shirt on a cool morning, or under a heavier coat when the weather turns.

Features

• Soft-Shell Construction — Soft-shell is a flexible woven outer fabric that cuts the wind and moves with you, so it is less stiff than a traditional shell.
• Sleeveless Cut — With no sleeves, the vest adds warmth to the torso without restricting the shoulders or arms.
• Full-Length Front Zip — A single zip runs from hem to collar for quick on and off and easy venting.
• Stand-Up Collar — The raised collar zips closed around the neck to block drafts.
• Zippered Hand Pockets — Two vertical zip pockets at the lower front hold keys, a phone or gloves securely.
• Charcoal Grey And Red — A charcoal grey body is set off by red shoulder yokes and side panels in the official Royal Mail colors.
• Contrast Shoulder Piping — Light piping runs along the edge of the red shoulder yokes.
• Embroidered Royal Mail Logo — The official crown and Royal Mail badge is stitched onto the left chest.
• Shaped Front Panels — Vertical seams down each side of the front give the vest a tidier, closer fit than a boxy cut.

Genuine Postal Uniform

The vest was made for Royal Mail, the UK's national postal service, and carries the original branding and color scheme used on its uniform. Because it was built to a working uniform specification for staff outdoors in all seasons, it is practical everyday outerwear. Collectors of British uniform and workwear also value it as authentic issued kit rather than a fashion piece.
