Does anyone know where Nate's stands now? I was looking at the Nate's website today for the first time in several years and they seem to have little mention of the police leather jackets, plus they don't seem to have a section on refurbished used jackets anymore.Tomasso said:Yes, everybody I've known who've worn CPD jackets got them off Nate's pre-owned rack or at vintage shops in Chicago.
I saw one of Nate's jackets on e-Bay recently, brand new, and it didn't look very good. I notice that Taylor's, another maker of CPD jackets, misses on some of the details. Second-hand ones show up on e-Bay quite often, but they're usually knocked to pieces or close to it. Oh well, a man's gotta have his dreams, right?Doctor Damage said:Does anyone know where Nate's stands now?

Anyways, here's an awesome photo of an NYPD officer:
The utility belt looks a bit off to me... but yes, looks great otherwise. Wish the police here were moving towards uniforms like that instead of the polo-shirt type stuff that makes them look more like event security than real polis... Cracking jacket. I've oved away from peacoats in recent years, but for casual kicking aorund in the Winter when I'm not in a sheepskin, one of those could be very tempting...
