Met Police Unit Beat Officers Stab Vest and Black Bowler

This one is a loving tribute to the everyday armour of the Met’s front line beat officer, featuring the unmistakable combination of the operational stab vest, radio, body-worn camera, baton, cuffs, spray and of course the legendary black bowler, worn at the exact angle that says: “Yes, I’ve already dealt with three domestics, two shoplifters and a missing cat today, and it’s not even lunchtime.”

Packed with familiar details, this artwork captures that very particular reality of modern policing, where you’re basically a walking equipment cupboard with a calm voice and a notebook full of things you’ll definitely have to justify later.

Painted by la-de-da you know who (By Boris), it’s a humorous and respectful nod to the kit, the culture, and the sheer grit of the officers who keep London moving, one incident at a time.

Available in two frame sizes, with two mount options, making it ideal for a home office, man cave, police station wall, or anywhere that appreciates proper Met Police nostalgia with a wink.
