Dressed in the original Peelers swallowtail jacket, a historic uniform worn by the Metropolitan Police between 1829 and 1864, PC Vincent exudes an air of authority and discipline. The jacket, featuring a 4-inch high collar, concealed a 4-inch leather stock designed to prevent strangulation and protect against attacks from behind.
