UK Border Agency Hi-Viz Jacket
A genuine UK Border Agency hi-viz bomber jacket, issued to officers at ports, airports and immigration checkpoints. The fluorescent yellow PU-coated polyester shell helps keep out wind and rain, and grey reflective tape around the body, sleeves and shoulders makes the wearer visible from every side. A zip front under a press-stud storm flap, a high stand collar, zippered hand pockets and a quilted lining make it a practical cold-weather work coat. Agency patches on the chest and back mark it as authentic government issue from a now-disbanded Home Office service. It suits anyone working around traffic or after dark, and collectors of British uniform.

UK Border Agency Hi-Viz
This fluorescent yellow bomber jacket was issued to UK Border Agency officers working at ports, airports and immigration checkpoints, where they needed to be seen by drivers and crowds in any light. It pairs a weather-resistant shell with a padded lining, so it works as a cold-weather work coat as well as a visibility layer. It suits anyone who works around traffic or after dark, and collectors of British government uniform.
Features
- Fluorescent Yellow Shell — The neon yellow polyester stands out against both daylight and dusk backgrounds, which is the point of hi-viz workwear.
- PU-Coated Polyester — A polyurethane coating on the outer fabric helps it shed rain and block wind.
- 360-Degree Reflective Tape — Two grey retroreflective bands circle the body and sleeves, and vertical braces run over both shoulders, so headlights pick the wearer out from any angle.
- Storm Front Closure — A full zip sits behind a press-stud placket, and the flap keeps wind and rain off the zipper.
- High Stand Collar — The tall collar fastens with a stud at the throat to seal out weather around the neck.
- Zippered Hand Pockets — Two lower front pockets close with zips to keep keys, phones and documents secure.
- Shoulder Epaulets — Buttoned straps on each shoulder, part of the uniform pattern, carry rank slides or keep a bag strap in place.
- Ribbed Knit Cuffs And Hem — Dark navy knit at the wrists and waistband holds warmth in and gives the jacket its bomber cut.
- Quilted Inner Lining — A padded, quilted nylon and polyester lining adds insulation for cold shifts outdoors.
- Agency ID Panels — A "UK Border Agency" patch sits on the left chest with a larger panel across the back, and some units carry plain reflective panels in the same positions.
Government Issue Provenance
The UK Border Agency was the Home Office organization responsible for border control until it was disbanded, which makes jackets carrying its insignia a closed chapter of British uniform history. Each one is genuine government-issue kit, made to the agency's own specification for officers who spent long hours outdoors at the border. The cut is a roomy bomber designed to fit over uniform layers, so consider that when choosing a size.

Love itI love it. Size small fit my US size small. Yeah it was made in England . I plan to wear it this winter or when raining. I order the jacket with the UK Border Agency tag. The yellow stand out even on the dark so less chance for me to get ran over by cars. I highly recommend this for walking at night or during cold days. Price is super too.

Another Great JacketI just received my 2nd one of these jackets. Another great new jacket with the tags sill attached. Note on size: If you buy your correct size you will have room in it to work and also add a hoodie or something under it for warmth if needed. These are great quality and a deal for the dollars. I'll bet the UK Government paid a lot more than that for them. You can buy with confidence.

What a deal !I bought a large for myself and it came today. Brand new jacket, made it the UK, with the manufacturers tags still attached - for $24 ! Amazing quality. The outer material is a water and wind proof synthetic, with a very durable finish. The liner is sewed-in and quilted nylon with a poly filler that has a little thickness to it. Just the thing for cold wet Spring and Fall days. From personal experience ( I have worked outside every day for the past two winters ) I can tell you that if you put this jacket over a hoodie you could be warm and dry on all but the coldest winter days here on the shore of Lake Erie. And this place is no valentine in Winter. This jacket will be great for both working outside and just for wearing when the weather turns foul. Today I ordered another for my nephew. I got the ones with the UK Agency labels because it makes it a lot more interesting, plus it will probably hold its value. Great Jacket !

Great hi-viz jacket!I bought this jacket to wear when I walk my dogs on late fall/winter/early spring mornings and have been very happy with it. I'm 6'1" 185 lbs and the size large fits perfectly. Great quality for a low price.

Great Jacket!This is a very nice jacket for the price. After receiving my first, I immediately ordered two more. I bought two with the Border Agency markings, which I would have thought were new, if it were not for items left in the pockets. I also purchased one with no markings, which had a few small grease stains, but otherwise in very good condition. So you know what to expect, the jackets with no markings have a reflective patch covering the original Border Agency lettering. This is a very good and flexible adhesive patch that will not be coming off with use. The sizing was very true to what was listed. These are a great value at the price!
