With a change in leadership, this Atlanta area department was also looking to have a different look/presence at community events they attend. Over a two week period, the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office outfitted various mannequins with different uniforms and allowed staff to weigh in regarding garment function, comfort, fit, and overall appearance. In the end, members selected Flying Cross to manufacture their award-winning honor guard uniform.
As would be expected, garments are patterned after the military; Flying Cross designed a program that is sharp and traditional. But unlike others, this honor program is adaptable; piping was added to garments, and trousers come in various colors, allowing the 20-member department to slightly modify its appearance for any occasion. One of the standout looks includes white trousers and gloves, paired with black dress coat and campaign hat.
