Police Uniforms

While specific components can vary slightly depending on the agency preference, a standard police uniform traditionally includes a duty shirt (often a collared, button-down shirt), duty pants, a duty belt (equipped with holsters for firearms, handcuffs, radios, and other essential gear), and sturdy footwear. In recent years some departments have transitioned from traditional style shirts to more hybrid styles featuring a collared neck and more breathable fabric on the torso to pair with external carriers and covers.

At Flying Cross we design uniforms with officer safety and functionality in mind. We offer a variety of fabrics blend to meet the demands of the jobs for officers across the country, from durable stretch mini-ripstop garments (FX Flex) to 100% knit polyester garments (Power Flex) for maximum breathability. Many of our uniforms also incorporate moisture-wicking technology for comfort in various climates. This technology minimizes your sweat and regulates your body temperature to keeping you from overheating while on-duty.

o Comfort – High quality stretch, lightweight, and breathable fabrics are crucial for comfort and increased performance. Flying Cross Flex Uniforms help you stay agile and comfortable for the duration of your shift.
o Durability – Designed with over 180 years of superior craftsmanship, Flying Cross uniforms are durable and designed with reenforced stitching on critical wear points to ensure your uniform lasts day in and day out.
o Appearance – Flying Cross offers several award-winning uniform collections allowing you to maintain a professional appearance that commands respect and fosters community relations.

At Flying Cross, we understand that a uniform is a statement of professionalism, authority, and unwavering commitment. When it comes to Class A and Class B uniforms, the distinction lies in their intended purpose and the level of formality they convey. The below is what is generally referred to as your Class A and Class B uniforms.

o The Class A uniform is the epitome of distinction, designed for those moments when an officer's presence must convey the utmost authority and respect. This is the uniform for:
- Formal Occasions: Parades, honor guard duties, court appearances, public receptions, and any event where the highest level of professionalism and decorum is required.
- A Polished Aesthetic: Class A garments are crafted with a keen eye for traditional military creasing, a crisp, tailored fit, and premium fabrics that offer a sophisticated drape. You'll often find a more substantial feel, often incorporating wool blends, ensuring a distinguished appearance that holds its form flawlessly.
- Full Dress: This uniform typically includes a formal button-down shirt, often with permanent military creases, and matching trousers that may feature a precise uniform stripe down the leg. Accessories like a necktie, a dress hat, and polished footwear complete this commanding ensemble. The emphasis is on projecting a unified, authoritative image that leaves a lasting impression.

o The Class B uniform is our workhorse, engineered for the daily demands of active duty while maintaining a sharp, professional appearance. This is the uniform for:
- Everyday Patrol & Operations: Designed for comfort, durability, and functionality during routine patrol, community interactions, and the unpredictable nature of street duty.
- Performance-Driven Fabrics: We utilize innovative, lighter-weight fabrics, often polyester blends, that are not only robust and resistant to wear and tear but also offer enhanced features like moisture-wicking and stain resistance. This ensures comfort throughout long shifts and easy maintenance.
- Functional Design: While still featuring military creases for a crisp look, Class B uniforms often incorporate practical elements such as cargo pockets on pants for essential gear, and a design that seamlessly integrates with duty belts and external body armor carriers. The focus here is on empowering the officer with freedom of movement and accessibility to critical equipment.
- Adaptability: Many agencies find our Class B offerings versatile enough to be used interchangeably with Class A for daily duties, showcasing their inherent professional appeal combined with unmatched utility.
