The Police Jacket is a cotton uniform jacket worn by police officers. It is worn in the Jacket slot and covers the torso, the arms and the neck. It is one of the better everyday jackets.
Its strength is a good mix of warmth, weather cover and protection. It stops a fair share of bites and scratches and guards the neck. The cost is weight and a small cut to running and attack speed.
It is a common find in police outfit storage and police garages. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The Police Jacket keeps the upper body warm and blocks almost half of the wind. It keeps out a quarter of the rain. That makes it a good jacket for cold, wet autumn days.
It stops about a fifth of bites and three scratches in ten on the torso and arms. It also adds neck protection. The Sheriff Deputy Jacket matches it in every figure. The Jacket - Navy Blue gives the same bite, scratch and neck defence. It blocks more wind, is a little less warm and slows running by only 5 percent.
The jacket slows running by 7 percent and attacks by 2 percent. It weighs twice as much as a shirt.
It cannot be worn with other jackets, bulky jackets, hooded jackets, suit jackets, bathrobes or sport shoulder pads.
