Vintage LAPD Los Angeles Police Department short sleeve uniform shirt circa 1940s/50s. Zips up, the zipper is cleverly hidden by a non-functioning row of buttons. Metal zipper is in good functioning shape. Both breast pockets do not have buttons, rather they are tacked down by small pieces of velcro. My guess is this is to more quickly grab the official "ticket book" without having to fuss with buttons and get slowed down. But this is just a guess. Overall this garment is in good shape considering its age. A few small frays at the bottom of the shirt front. Some heavy stitching on the left sleeve (see photo) implying a repair to a tear or snag maybe. Men's M/L. Wool. Really unique vintage find.
