Parade Dress Coat Features

Full-length parade coats are tailored outerwear garments designed for official police honor guard units participating in cold-weather ceremonies. The garment features a wide folded collar, a full button placket running down the front, and large flap pockets situated along the lower section.

History and Purpose of Honor Guard Outerwear

Ceremonial overcoats originated as protective garments for mounted patrols and marching guards exposed to harsh weather conditions. Modern parade coats maintain classic double-breasted or single-breasted tailoring standards that allow officers to march comfortably while keeping a uniform appearance across the entire unit. Large pockets traditionally stored gloves, inspection checklists, or ceremonial gear.

Real Colors of a Parade Dress Coat

  • Coat outer fabric: Midnight navy blue, dark charcoal gray, or solid black
  • Wide collar lapels: Same shade as the coat, sometimes accented with contrasting piping
  • Coat buttons: Polished brass, shiny gold, or chrome silver metal
  • Front flap pockets: Matched exactly to the main coat fabric color
