Compatibility

The 71183 is designed as a Class A or dress uniform shirt and serves as the foundation of a 5.11 PDU uniform. It accepts standard epaulet insignia, a badge through the badge tab, and a nameplate through the included support strip, so you can configure it to your department's regulations. It pairs naturally with matching PDU or duty trousers and a duty belt. This is a uniform dress shirt rather than a base layer or an external carrier, so it is not intended for wear as an armor cover or as a casual off-duty shirt. Sizing follows men's cuts across Short, Regular, and Tall lengths, so confirm your department's color and insignia requirements before ordering.

Intended Users

Police officers and sheriff's deputies rely on the 71183 as a sharp, inspection-ready Class A shirt for patrol, court appearances, and formal details. Security officers and private security professionals wear it to project a clean, authoritative presence on the job. Corrections officers and courthouse bailiffs choose it for durable everyday wear that holds a professional line through long shifts. It also suits honor guard members and administrative staff who need a polished dress uniform shirt.
