That's just great. Now the real question. What can or can't we wear this with. This department is so fucked up!
How much does it run?
I'm not receiving any compensation from them either, but that's a sharp looking fucking jacket.
A nice underlayer for the leather. If you aint wearing the leather in the Winter, you aint The CPD!BOOYAH
the eisenhower jacket was the best spring fall outer garment--- repelled water and didn't stain... the leather was not a good winter coat--- you looked cool and it deflected knife cuts but was cold as hell.... these new generation "spiewak" coats look like shit after a couple of months of soup stains and bouncing around in filthy beat cars---
If memory serves correctly, black molle vest covers for soft armor are also approved...fyi
And guess who developed and manufactured the original, authentic Navy P Coat, de riguer for bona fide tough guys everywhere? Speiwak. Still made here by Americans.
Well I can tell you for sure this isnt a Daley influenced company!
Nice jesture! Thanks!
WHY do the new vests and coats have those ridiculous looking embroidered stars and rather huge POLICE On the back??? Looks like something paul blart would don while cruising on his segway... tacky
We should just wear anything we want as long as we have the start and nametag visible, you know, like Old West lawmen did. After all, there is no "uniformity" on CPD anymore. We look worse than an old Hill Street Blues roll call. Since I've been on we have had:
1. leather jacket
2. 3/4 nylon
3. spring/fall Ike nylon
4. tufanyl waist lenght and 3/4
5. pullover sweater
6. zipper sweater
7. the new jacket with flip down ID boards
8. reefer
9. blouse
now.....oh, who can keep track.
$327.00??? My friend has them on sale for $326.99!
Coats? How many different types of official uniforms are there now?

You are supposed to have them washed or cleaned periodically. You would get pretty shitty looking yourself if you never took a bath.
what the fuck you need a molle vest cover if you are not supposed to have any equipment on the vest anyway ?? 2 year wonders need the army look??? Go enroll in the army !If you get that fancy nancy vest make sure you stick some misdemeanor complaints in there, stop calling beat car for them for the petty arrests. If you call yourself tactical, might as well be equipped with some important papers.
Okay heres a rant from an 19 yrs on the job "Old Timer"
The CPD uniform standard is a total fucking joke. You wonder why there's no respect for the Police these days? Look in the mirror!
You look so cute with your turtlenecks and "DICKIES". The pants with the 20 pockets are really sexy. The baseball caps are the best. We wouldn't want anything like a traditional crown hat messing up your gel crusted $30 haircuts. Fucking security guards have better looking and more authoritative threads.
Looks great!
Now I can hobnob with some Lincoln Park trixies in my new CPD fleece!
To hell with you, North Face!
Why a post about this and not about Carla Oglesby?
I ordered mine today, ran about $115, which includes the required patch package: embroidered star, name/district patch, shoulder patches, and back "POLICE" patch.
OT born after jan 1, 1955 and you will not receive a 3% cola
you will receive a 1 1/2 % cola at age 60 with a 30 % cap
less than 10 years(not vested)on cpd and your top pension rate will be 60 %
you will need 20 years and be 55 years old to retire
this will save pension fund for at least 35 years
What's the going price for these-look pretty sharp. Also, what's this about matching pants?
How about Atlas Uniform, at the FOP HQ building. They don't overcharge for BIG & TALL sizes.
(Thank-you Atlas)
Boots and cargo pants ? How generous. How about a CPD approved M4 rifle ? Second prize, level 3 holster. Third prize, kevlar lined stop and frisk gloves...Something a little more protective for the short handed and much backlogged Patrolman of today.
$80.00 plus $35.00 for star name tag and insignia,got one today,supplies are said to be limited.
There are way too many uniform options...we need UNIFORMITY...that is why it is called a UNIFORM. To all of you who wear those shorts in the summer-if you aren't assigned to the bike patrol and you wear them, you are a tool. This fucking place is retarded.

Aaahemmm... except for the NY Trip, the prizes are stuff that this company makes or sell.
(Ya know, this is just like what J-Fed about giving cops a gold brick.)
You go and have your own raffle and give away an M-4 and so on.
Nice item. Get yours at J & G uniforms located on the south side of Irving Pk. Rd. and juse east of Austin Avenue.

Atlas and Chicago Uniform have the cheapest / crapiest quality of uniform.
Their coat linings are like paper.
Their prices are higher.
I wouldn't shop there if my life depended on it.
AJ's - Southside
JG's - Northside
Both have far better quality and service.
Blaur coming out with one that's a little cheaper... in about 3 weeks...

Like J-Fed said, give a Chicago Cop a gold bar and he will complain how heavy it is.
How about YOU have a raffle and make the prizes "a CPD approved M4 rifle, Second prize, level 3 holster. Third prize, kevlar lined stop and frisk gloves."
Make it for a good cause, like a fund raiser for the National Association for the Advancement of Stupid People. It’s a cause dear to the hearts of many of our Exempts.
I’d buy a ticket from you for that.
How much more crap for approved uniform wearing does CPD need? Whats next? CPD approved earmuffs? Half the people on the job run around with baggy bluejeans and gym shoes anyway. Of course, they are "undercover" or so they think. I think there should be an approved CPD Jockstrap, named,"the Jody".

I want a set of steak knives.
What's needed is a make over of the tact uniform. The baseball cap and carhart coats with hoodies are stale.
Thanks . . .
but I'll keep wearing my 1985 nylon jacket until the department purchases one for the entire department.
The entire department looks terrible. Everyone looks like a bunch of pirates at rollcall.
We now have 33 different outer garments. You look at New York or L.A. and the coppers look sharp. All in the same uniform.

You cant have it both ways - get a uniform check and a first issue clause, then bitch about how everyone looks. The dept already ponied up the cash for your issue. It's called a uniform allowance. But you and I know that money gets spent on other things - like fam vacations, school tuition, and property taxes. Dont get me wrong, I know these are valid expenses for most of us, but if we ditched the first issue we'd lose the uni checks. Of course, the only req items are the wool and blouse. Keep bitchin and see if they dont respond with "OK. Everyone needs to wear their req uniform items now. No more optional items. Unif of the day is your class a.
Speiwak, thanks very much for the raffle for CPD. I've tried ur coat and found it very comfortable. Iam buying one this week. Thanks again for your support. 015th Dist
what the fuck you need a molle vest cover if you are not supposed to have any equipment on the vest anyway ??
----------------
When the molle comes out you will be able to wear anything on it you want except your holster. all other items on your belt you will be able to move to the vest - taser, light, cuffs, spray, asp.
If memory serves correctly, black molle vest covers for soft armor are also approved...fyi
**
I hear this item will only be avail with star and name patches - no real star. Also heard that only balck vest covers will be allowed. blue, white, leather all unapproved. You'll be able to wear them if you have them, but all new ones will have to be black nylon.
I've never had a problem with anything I've bought at Atlas.
The brands are the same as everywhere else so the quality is the same but with better prices.
I agree with 2 of the other post about how bad the CPD looks with so many different uniforms being worn by it's members. I think they should cut back on what we can & can't wear. But what they really need to do more so that we look like the real police is get back to some grooming standards. I'm tired of the beards and long hair along with the dreadlocks, twist, & braids and what not. Go back to the way it was when we looked like a real department.

hey SCC
it's funny you have this blog about uniform wear -- advertising and then you have a company rep responding to some of the adds...??!!
What gives?.
I guess ATLAS UNIFORM isn't included in this as an authorized dealer?
Anyone know?
To the old crusty dinosaurs. Thanx for the input but 80/20 pants suck ass in the summer. Wearing a crown hat is for milkman. I like the many options of uniforms to make me comfortable to be able to do the job.
When we had no uniform options and forced to wear the hat and sweat year round, I always heard cops say "why can't they let us wear something practical and durable". Now they are, and a few goofs want us to all look the same. Why?
If someone looks bad in the uniform its because they are sloppy, dirty, overweight, underweight - basically no self respect for their appearance.
Besides, theres no "uniformity" in today's department anyway.
When the molle comes out you will be able to wear anything on it you want except your holster. all other items on your belt you will be able to move to the vest - taser, light, cuffs, spray, asp.
10/08/2010 10:38:00 PM
Do you really want that stuff up high, bouncing when you run? And is it more reachable by offenders ?
this sure beats wearing that stiff three seasons jacket. leather jacket looks nice but uncomfortable and heavy.

This is going back some years but it probably is still there. If you look in department uniform specs you will find a style of approved earmuffs. They are black, warp-a-round and elastic. They were popular when the only the round crown cap was permitted, before the fur trooper caps, knit caps or baseball caps. You will see them in old pictures and probably for sale in the uniform stores, in a box, on a shelf gathering dust.
Stay warm and safe this winter.
P.S. There was also a spec for a "muffler" you could have. That's not a silencer, that’s an antiquated term for a neck scarf.

You are more worried about how we look than the severe shortage of manpower and equipment? Spoken like a true empty holster. Who cares about the uniform? Look like a real department rather than be the real police.
Very unprofessional. Just like those stupid looking baseball hats. Detroit Jr.

Screw you, I been on the job 20 years and I wish someone would tell me I can't wear twists or braids.......can you say lawsuit aka the one Pat Hill won about her hair??????

I don't know about the 20 and 55 , but the COLA thing changes every couple of years. It gets moved up automatically so that only those over a certain age (55, I think) get it. When I retired 10 years ago, it was a birth year of 1945.

What does having 20 years on the job have to do with anything? Your special of course. Ignore the uniform and appearance standards because you need your not so unique "look at me,look at me" feature. You're not going to win any fucking lawsuit and your girl pat hill is a piece of shit. Can you say "sign this SPAR form ho?"

This is how the military wears their stuff - going all the way back to the old LBE up to today's MOLLE. I think they manage to run, jump, crawl, and climb pretty well.
Additionally, there is something to be said for getting that weight off your hips and onto your shoulders. Reduced back issues and no longer any need for suspenders. I dont know how you wear your vest, but mine is secure to my body, so things arent going to be bouncing.
Guys for years have been 'violating' the order about vest covers by adding pockets for radios, flashlights, and oc spray. This certainly is no different. If you want my opinion, seeing so many guys with knives clipped onto the slit pockets on the current vest cover is a greater concern. Or M4 mags poking out of them. Secure pouches with snap or velcro covers are much safer by comparison.

yeah they are few of them out there that think wearing the uniform means free shit. The ones that would wear their uniform on rdos so they could have free BKs. Fucking sad. Bunch of fuckin mushes.
Fleece costs $80, patches are $35.
So I asked on the 'other' blog
why we can ONLY get the fleece with the patches and NOT wear our star and name tag on them.

You can keep the free stuff. I get a uniform allowance and a great paycheck. JW (j/k)
Its true, some people always want more or something else. Don't be hating on all of us "guys" because one person isn't satisfied. This "guy" probably has 3 ex's tapping into his paycheck, therefore he need's free stuff... Don't be so QUICK to judge!
