Rocker Jacket

A rocker jacket is a leather motorcycle jacket first popularized by the greasers and rockers of the late 1950s and early 1960s. It is believed that the style was introduced by Schott NYC in the late 1920s[1]. The "classic" style with steel belt-buckle and nickel rivets was invented in 1947 by Ross Langlitz, of Portland, Oregon.

Rocker jackets can be styled in variety ways, and different versions have been associated with different subcultures. It has been associated with groups such as rockers, punk rockers, bikers and metalheads. The jackets have been used for protective purposes, fashion, and often for their intimidating and rebellious appearance.


There is a substantial difference between rocker jackets made for fashionable purposes and for protective purposes (for activities like motorcycle riding). Rocker jackets designed for protective use are heavier, thicker, and sometimes equipped with armor. A rocker jacket primarily designed for fashion purposes is not likely to be of much use in a motorcycle accident.


In the 1950s, the rocker jacket achieved iconic status in major part through fictional film. Examples include Marlon Brando's Johnny Strabler character in The Wild One (1953), Michael Pare in Eddie and the Cruisers (1983), as well as the actor James Dean (although he never actually wore one in any of his films). Later examples include Henry Winkler's character Fonzie in the 1970s American television series Happy Days, which depicted life in the 1950s and early-mid 1960s, and the T-Birds characters in the Grease film duo. The Fonz's rocker jacket is housed in the Smithsonian Institution. Danny Zuko and the rest of the T-Birds from the 1978 movie Grease would have their gang name painted on the back of their rocker jackets.


Other examples of the rocker jacket in popular culture include the Black Panthers in the 1960s and 1970s, the punk rock band the Ramones, punk rocker Sid Vicious as well as part of the Punk fashion, In the Mad Max Trilogy, Max and police officers sported jackets with armour, in the 1990s, Tre Cool sometimes sported a leather jacket, the T-800 cyborg character of The Terminator movies; the character Roger Davis, played by Adam Pascal in the 2005 movie Rent; and former World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Wrestler Bret Hart. In the 1980s, rocker Joan Jett commonly wore leather jackets.

General Accoutrements Vest: Solution or Problem?

There have been a Vest number of articles, forum threads, and choir-practice conversations over the last few years in all Australian Police organisations about the inadequate accoutrement belts being issued to operational uniformed members.

The "inadequacy" of these belts is that they cannot carry the multitude of tools required for operational policing these days, and of greater concern, that these issue belts are actually causing serious injuries among officers. These injuries range from insomnia, back strains, sciatic aggravation, and a multitude of other injuries that in quite a few cases are considered to be a work-related injury.

Obviously, if a piece of equipment is causing injury, or is not up to the task required of it, then something should be done, yes?

NSW Police has tried issuing a different type of belt, to see if that would fix the problem. For some people it has. But then you have the silly issue of the belt being used operationally is not the belt members are allowed to use when they undertake their OSTT / Firearms re-qualifications. Just another example of idiots running things.....but let's not go there.

Almost all Australian Police organisations have "trialled" an accoutrement vest for GD's members. Some of these trials saw operational members wearing the vests on duty and providing feedback. Other trial versions, and the only ones I have personally seen, were a case of the vest sitting in the office of a non-operational member, and entire decisions being based on that office environment.

Apparently the general consensus was that the vest was too "tactical" or "military" in appearance, and we all know how adverse our respective Police Managers are regarding our Police being seen as anything other than blue Care Bears. The fact that very similar vests are being worn happily by Ambulance Officers seems to be ignored by Police Management.

Somehow, another vest was sourced, and trialled. The "General Accoutrement Vest" (GAV) is made by an Australian company, Personal Protective Clothing, (PPC), in Victoria. Again, this vest has been "trialled" by operational Police, and I have yet to hear one Officer who has trialled it saying that they would wear it. In fact, the only comments I have received from testing Officers is that they refused to wear it after one day due to the fact that it was either too hot to wear, or it looked utterly ridiculous.

But they have been ignored. At least one Australian Police organisation has announced that these vests will be rolled out. The initial idea is that it is only going to be provided as an option to the smaller-stature officers, and possibly those with documented back injuries.

I have my concerns.

Firstly, and this needs to be addressed. The vest looks like either a bra on steriods, or something out of a Sado-Masochist's fantasy wardrobe ensemble. PPC's website states that the GAV provides the public with a "Unique Visual Memory". So does a clown costume, but that does not mean it is a good idea to have our frontline Police wearing a clown costume!

I have shown images of the GAV to Police Officers in Australia and overseas, as well as people who have never been Police Officers, and not one single person said that it provided a professional or even positive appearance. Those people who weren't too busy laughing were highly critical of the appearance of the GAV. One term used to describe the vest by a Qld Police Officer was "Gay Action Vest".

Police need all the help they can get in doing their job. Having the general public laughing at how they look does NOT help.

Secondly, and of more importance, is the ability of a GAV-wearing officer to utilise body armour. I have attempted to contact PPC to have them respond to this one concern, but they refuse to answer my e-mails or return my telephone calls. Maybe they were just too busy?

In regard to body armour, a number of points must be raised, which have not been done so in any prior article about the GAV.

Accoutrements: The equipment held by the GAV includes an Officer's radio, baton, cuffs, and ASR / OC. If the body armour is placed over the GAV, then that equipment cannot be used. Imagine being seriously injured and not able to call for help on your radio because it is underneath your body armour? What about trying to defend yourself against assault that does not justify you using your sidearm, but ONLY your sidearm is accessible as everything else is under your body armour?

Projectiles / Blunt Force Trauma. Body armour is designed to not only stop the penetration of a bullet, but to also disperse the impact of the bullet over a wide area, to prevent bones being shattered, organs badly bruised, or the shock of the bullet causing other serious injuries, (imagine the force of a bullet impacting over your heart?). The problem with having your accoutrements underneath body armour is that it causes the body armour to become uneven, which may allow bullet penetration, or more likely, the force of the bullet is not dispersed, and can cause pieces of your equipment to be punched into your body. Not really an acceptable situation.
Perhaps the GAV is designed to be placed over your body armour? Currently, to use body armour, all a Police Officer has to do is put the armour on.

If the GAV was to be used over body armour, this is what would have to happen - The GAV would have to be removed, (itself not a preferred option as the likelihood of losing kit is increased), put the body armour on, adjust the GAV to a larger size, and then put the GAV back on. A much more time consuming process, and if the situation justifies the use of overt body armour, then time is usually something you, or the public, do not have.

But why is the GAV being trialled? What is the justification in spending a very large chunk of the tax-payers money on trialling this ..... thing?

Current thinking by Police Managers in relation to the previously outlined Police belt issues is that the one and only solution is reducing the amount of weight on the belts. Even numerous Police Union / Association articles have not moved away from this thinking. NSW and Victoria Police have moved to the use of thigh holsters for their sidearms in their erroneous assumption that it will reduce the weight on the belt.


US Police do. Canadian Police do. What do they do to reduce the weight on their belts? They use suspenders. Uncle Mike is just one company that makes suspenders for Law Enforcement belts. They are designed to transfer some of the weight of the belt to the shoulders, which is exactly what the GAV purports to do, and the suspenders are designed to release if some parasite decided to use those suspenders to hold onto an officer.

And when LEGEAR can supply these suspenders at $57.40, retail price, you have to wonder why they were not "trialled" prior to Police agencies spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on the GAV. Even if the organisation just agreed to reimburse members buying these suspenders, it would be vastly cheaper than their planned

What about the belts themselves? Why is it that Police in Australia are allowed to wear the belt that is issued, and ONLY that belt? Police "duty" belts are made by Safariland, Bianchi, Gould & Goodrich, Uncle Mike's, 5.11, Blackhawk, Galls, LEGear, and a plethora of other recognised companies. But in the face of uncomfortable and injured officers, their employers insist that they must wear the issue belt, or face disciplinary action. In previous articles I have commented that Police organisations should allow their staff to wear equipment that meets a standard, and not just insist that one brand and model can be used.

I wore a Bianchi belt for most of my time in the Police, and the biggest feature I noticed was that it allowed more "real estate" on the front of the belt than the issue Safariland belt, due to the Safariland belt having a decorative false buckle that took up a lot of room. More room on your belt mens more ability to move your equipment into a comfortable position.

 What if it is not the belt? Why is it that in the last 11 years or so that I have been involved in Policing, I have not once heard of a Canadian or US Police Officer complaining about injuries resulting from wearing their equipment belt? In most cases they actually have more equipment on their belts than Australian Officers. Are Australian Officers just bigger whingers?

No. I carried more on my duty belt than all other Police in my regions, (extra cuffs, extra magazine and extra torch), and did so for years. I even slept on concrete floors wearing the damn thing during occasional breaks on my years of double-shifts. Why is it that I do not have any back pain or injuries?

I exercise. A large percentage of US and Canadian Police also exercise. Although this subject can take up an entire magazine in itself, it is common knowledge that the best form of prevention and rehabilitation for back injuries is proper exercise. Once our Police leave their respective training colleges, there is no requirement or incentive for them to exercise, which I can Vest guarantee you has resulted in a large portion of injuries to our frontline Police.

what is Cargo pants

Cargo pants or cargo trousers, also sometimes called combat trousers (or combats) after their original military purpose, are loosely cut pants originally designed for tough, outdoor activities, and whose design is distinguished by one or more cargo pockets. Cargo pants have become popular in urban areas as well, since they are convenient for carrying items during day trips on foot. Cargo shorts are a shorts-length version.
A cargo pocket is a form of a patch pocket, often with accordion folds for increased capacity closed with a flap secured by snap, button, magnet, or Velcro common on battledress and hunting clothing. In some designs, cargo pockets may be hidden within the legs.

Cargo pants are made of hard wearing fabric and ruggedly stitched. Increasingly they are made of quick-drying synthetic or cotton-synthetic blends, and often feature oversized belt loops to accommodate wide webbing belts.

The garments are characteristically designed to allow bending at the knee and hip, and are sewn with felled seams for strength and durability.

Battle Dress were first worn by members of the British Armed Forces in 1938, and were introduced to the United States in the mid-1940s during World War II. The large pockets characteristic of cargo pants were originally designed for British forces to hold Field dressing (bandage) and maps and other items. The concept was copied in the U.S. Paratrooper uniform to allow more room to hold K rations and extra ammunition

pockets denim Jeans cargo pants

As with any recession, where there are cargo pants losers, there are almost always winners too. Whilst the clothing industry on the whole has been adversely affected by the worldwide economic decline, denim jeans have reportedly fared a lot better.

The jeans industry is very competitive with countless new brands joining the vast list of already-established labels in the past few years. Having such a large number of brands to choose from also means that consumers have their pick from stylish top of the range denim trousers, to practical ‘wear at work’ types that really won’t break the bank.

Among the classic brands that we’ve all grown to love, Levi’s are probably the most widely identifiable makes of jeans. They are named after Levi Strauss, a German-Jewish man who immigrated to New York in 1847, and then subsequently set up a denim clothing firm in San Francisco in 1853.

It wasn’t until the 1870s when Levi Strauss joined forced with a Nevada tailor called Jacob Davis that the true durable denim innovation came about. Together, they patented the process of inserting metal rivets on the stress points on waist-high overalls, which were known as ‘jeans’ at the time. Levi Strauss opted for denim fabric on these aprons and put his own name on the product.

By the 1950s – perhaps due in part to silver screen icons such as James Dean – demand for denim trousers (or more specifically, ‘Levi's jeans’) exceeded the interest in denim waist overalls. As with anything in life, where there’s demand, supply isn’t normally far behind and Levi’s were joined by a number of other denim producers and the jeans industry has gone from strength to strength ever since.

Mens jeans come cargo pants in all shapes and sizes, from skinny all the way through to flared, and popular culture movements such as punk and grunge have been influencing the ‘in styles’ for decades.

Chef Uniforms

The traditional chef's uniform (or chef's whites) includes a toque (traditional hat), white double-breasted jacket, and houndstooth-patterned, black and white pants. It is a common uniform in the Western world.

The double breasted jacket can be reversed to hide stains. The thick cotton cloth protects from the heat of stove and oven and protects from splattering of boiling liquids. Knotted cloth buttons were used to survive frequent washing and contact with hot items. White is intended to signify cleanliness and is generally worn by highly visible head chefs. Aprons shield the wearer's garments from food splatters and stains.

The toque is a chef's hat that dates back to the 16th century. Different heights may indicate rank within a kitchen. The 100 folds of the toque are said to represent the many different ways a chef knows to cook an egg. In more traditional restaurants, especially traditional French restaurants, the white chef’s coat is standard and considered part of a traditional uniform and as a practical chef's garment. Most serious chefs wear white coats to signify the importance and high regard of their profession. Senior kitchen staff are also identified by their black trousers. These embellishments of uniform also serve as an indicator between the bounds of salaried, and casual or part-time staff.
