Ask anyone what distinguishes a police patrolman on first glance, and one of the first things that people will answer with is the leather jackets they wear on duty. There are a variety of leather police jackets available, but considered amongst the best are those manufactured by Taylor’s Leatherwear.

Taylor’s Leatherwear is one of the few jacket manufacturers that still makes many of their jackets within the United States, and are the supplier of jackets worn by FedEx pilots, Homeland Security officers, U.S. Customs officials, and Border Patrol officers. Most street-level city, county, and state police officers wear Taylor’s Leatherwear leather jackets on duty.

Manufactured from cowhide or goatskin, these jackets are available in a variety of styles. Zip-out liners provide additional protection from cold weather and high-speed chill. They have styles made specifically to match department specifications, such as the # 4497Z NYPD jacket (with holster available on request), the # 4491Z LAPD/CHP jacket (designed to California Highway Patrol specifications) and the # 4418RZ Atlanta Jacket (with reflective tape and police panels).

Aside from being worn by police officers across the country, they are also worn by commercial pilots as well as the United States Air Force, and have been worn by actors in many movies and television shows. They offer a wide selection of American-made and imported leather jackets for every market and budget, and come with a five-year guarantee of their lasting quality.
