1980s | Horace Small | Quilted Police Duty Jacket | Black – XL

Description:

Item:
Original Horace Small padded police duty jacket with full quilted construction, fur collar, gold-tone hardware and original insignia detailing. Heavyweight, structured silhouette with strong uniform presence and a proper functional build designed for cold-weather patrol use.

Era:
1980s

Brand:
Horace Small

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. The quilting remains full and structured, the collar is clean, and all hardware and insignia are intact. Light, honest signs of wear consistent with service use that add character and authenticity without detracting from wearability.

Provenance Note:
Horace Small was one of the primary contract manufacturers for US police uniforms, producing garments built for durability, authority and daily working use. Jackets like this were never fashion items, they were tools of the job. That authenticity is exactly why they now carry such strong appeal. This is not surplus styling, it’s the real thing, a genuine piece of American uniform history that wears today like a statement jacket with weight, presence and credibility.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a story, and we cannot guarantee any item will be totally free of marks / damage but anything we think of note will be mentioned. Furthermore, a lot of vintage items gain character because of wear and tear. Buying a true vintage item is not the same as buying new and is not to be confused with second-hand clothing.

We have also tried to accurately depict each garment using a photography setup with over 90% true to life accuracy. 

We do not take photos of inside the garment.
