Custom police sweatshirts and outerwear give officers practical, personalized gear that holds up through shift changes, training sessions, and off-duty use. From full-zip fleeces and pullover hoodies to station-style crew sweatshirts, these pieces can be personalized with department names, badge numbers, unit designations, and officer names. The same styles work for department-wide orders and individual officer purchases. Browse the broader law enforcement apparel collection if you need shirts, hats, or additional uniform-adjacent pieces alongside your outerwear.
Departments across Pennsylvania order outerwear for recruit class kits, patrol division gear, detective unit apparel, and cold-weather station wear. Officers and their families also order individual pieces for personal use, off-duty events, and gifts. Whether your order is one item or a full department run, the process is the same: submit your artwork, approve a proof, and production begins.
What Gets Personalized on Police Outerwear
Most outerwear in this collection can carry department text, a badge or shield graphic, unit name, officer name, or a combination of these. Common personalization requests include:
- Department name and jurisdiction across the chest or back
- Badge number or officer name on a sleeve or chest panel
- Unit designations such as K9, detective, patrol, or traffic
- Recruit class wording for graduation kits and class runs
- Thin blue line graphics or department seals for off-duty wear
Decoration method depends on the garment and design. Embroidery is common for structured logos and text on heavier outerwear. Screen printing and DTF printing work well for larger back graphics and multi-color designs on hoodies and crew sweatshirts.
Ordering for Departments, Units, and Individuals
Department coordinators can place a single consolidated order covering multiple officers, with individual names or badge numbers added per piece. Class coordinators ordering recruit kits can bundle outerwear with shirts and hats in one order. Individual officers ordering a single hoodie or zip fleece go through the same straightforward process. Production runs 7 to 10 business days after artwork approval, with rush available when timing is tight. Local pickup is available in the Reading, PA area for departments and individuals who prefer it.
Police Outerwear and Related Law Enforcement Collections
Outerwear is one part of what departments typically need. If you are building a full class kit or department apparel program, the police apparel collection covers a wider range of uniform-adjacent and off-duty styles. For officers looking to pick up something for a colleague or retiring member, the LEO gifts collection and the law enforcement gifts collection carry drinkware, personalized accessories, and other items suited for recognition and retirement. Units with a K9 program will find K9-specific apparel and gear in the K9 collection.

Yes. There is no warehouse minimum on individual orders. Single-piece personalized orders are processed the same way as larger department runs.
What file format should I submit for my department logo or badge graphic?
Vector files (AI, EPS, SVG) and high-resolution PNG files work best. If you only have a low-resolution image, reach out and the team can advise on next steps before the order is placed.
Do you offer outerwear for K9 officers specifically?
Outerwear can be personalized with K9 unit text or graphics just like any other unit designation. For K9-specific apparel and accessories beyond outerwear, see the K9 apparel and gear collection.
