1517 Edwards Mens Tactical Snag-Proof Short Sleeve Polo

Edwards 1517 is a men's tactical short-sleeve polo built specifically for security, law enforcement support, campus security, corrections, transit authority, and public safety uniform programs where a polo shirt needs to carry operational equipment features rather than just a basic knit collar and buttons. At 6.7 oz and 100% polyester snag-proof construction, the fabric holds up through the physical demands of active patrol and security work without the thread-catching and pilling that standard polyester polos develop when in contact with duty belt hardware, radio equipment, and gear.

The operational details built into the 1517 are what separate it from a standard snag-proof polo. Mic clips at both the shoulder and placket allow officers and security staff to route radio or body camera cords securely without using separate clip hardware that can snag on the shirt. The pen pocket on the left sleeve keeps a pen accessible without occupying the chest pocket or belt space. A drop-back tail provides extra length at the rear to stay tucked through active movement, crouching, and vehicle entry and exit. The colorfast finish is verified to hold through 50 or more wash cycles, which is a specific and measurable durability claim for programs cycling duty uniforms through frequent laundering. 

UV protection adds practical value for officers working outdoor posts or traffic enforcement. The long-sleeve companion style is 1567. Ladies' companion style is 5517.
