Sewing Kits

The Uniform, Not the Giveaway Table

Patches, buttons, hems and a loose thread on a dress shirt are a constant low grade problem in any uniformed agency, and it gets sharper before an inspection, a funeral detail, a promotion ceremony or an academy graduation. Departments issue kits in recruit gear bags and stock them in locker rooms and honor guard cases for exactly that reason. Put the department name on the lid and it stays where it was issued.

Issue Quantity and Station Quantity

Recruit gear issue wants the flat pocket kit, one per person, printed with the department name so it stays with the gear it arrived in. A locker room or an honor guard case wants something a step up that will not be thrown out after one use. A uniform room wants the tray, because somebody in there is genuinely sewing patches. Call 800.431.3473 to price a roster quantity.

Common Questions

Do departments issue sewing kits at the academy?

Regularly. A kit in the recruit gear bag with the department name on the lid tends to stay with the gear it arrived in, which is the point.

What should an honor guard case carry?

A sewing kit and a lint brush. Between them they cover the two things that show most in photographs of a formal detail.

Can we order a roster quantity?

Yes, and roster quantities are the normal way this page gets bought. Call 800.431.3473 with your sworn and civilian headcount and we will price the mix.
