Overview of the Elbeco DutyMaxx Short Sleeve Stretch Shirt
Every shift puts your uniform to the test. Between vehicle entries, radio grabs, suspect contacts, and hours on foot patrol, a standard dress shirt loses its shape, soaks through, and pinches at every move. The Elbeco DutyMaxx Short Sleeve Poly/Rayon Stretch Shirt was rebuilt from the ground up to eliminate those problems for the officers, deputies, corrections staff, and security professionals who wear a uniform every day.
MPN 5580D (White), 5581D (Gray), 5582D (Silver Tan), 5584D (Navy), and 5586D (Medium Blue) anchor the DutyMaxx lineup with an 80% polyester/20% rayon tropical weave fabric featuring 14% fiber stretch and a 6 oz./sq. yard weight. That blend gives you a crisp, professional appearance while moving freely with your body throughout a 12-hour shift.

Compatibility
The Elbeco DutyMaxx Short Sleeve Shirt is sized using collar measurement in inches, from size 14 through 24 with half-inch increments throughout most of the range. This sizing convention matches standard men's dress uniform shirts, so if you already know your collar size for duty wear, your DutyMaxx size is the same number.
The five available colorways (White, Gray, Silver Tan, Navy, and Medium Blue) align with the most common agency-issued palettes for law enforcement, corrections, security, and transportation uniforms. The removable button feature means the shirt readily accepts metal uniform buttons and department insignia when required by your agency.
The extra-long shirt tails are designed to remain tucked under a duty belt even during active use, including running, vehicle entries, and defensive tactics. The convertible collar works with or without a tie.
This shirt is designed for men. Elbeco offers a separate women's DutyMaxx short-sleeve shirt with its own sizing and cut.
Intended Users
Law enforcement officers at the patrol level rely on the DutyMaxx as an everyday duty shirt because it holds a professional appearance through double-shifts while the stretch fabric keeps up with their movement. The Nano Fluid Repellency is particularly useful during arrests or emergency scenes where exposure to fluids is a real possibility.
Corrections officers and detention center staff favor the DutyMaxx because the elongated badge tab, functional shoulder strap button, and double-ply yoke construction project the authority and neatness their role demands, even inside facilities where shirtsleeves are rolled up for extended periods.
Security professionals working in corporate, hospitality, or transportation environments choose the DutyMaxx because it looks like a professional dress shirt and functions like tactical gear, allowing them to move quickly and stay presentable in front of clients.
Transit officers, transportation enforcement agents, and parking control officers benefit from the UV 40+ sun protection and ventilated underarms during long outdoor shifts on foot or in a vehicle.
