Honor Guard uniforms

by Greg

Jan 18, 2008

Hey all, I'm looking for some ideas on what your department uses as an honor guard uniform. Do you have a totally seperate uniform for honor guard purposes, or is it just a modified version of the departmental dress uni? Also, does your honor guard team have anything on their dress uniform identifying them as H.G. members when not presenting? We have an H.G. but are looking to revamp the uniform. Looking for fresh ideas.

Thanks all!

    Here is a picture of our uniform.(the one on the right) It costs a little more, but you can wear a tshirt under it, or a couple long sleeve shirts if its cold, and no one knows the difference. There are only 1 or 2 companies that make it and it takes about 6-8 weeks to arrive. let me know if you would like more info.

    Being a member of my unit is an honor and a privilege. As such, we have our own uniform which is different from the rest of the department, and we wear it exclusively at any department function. Being the elite, we want to stand out from the rest of the department. It it meant to inspire other members in striving to meet our standards and become a part of the unit.

    We opted for a uniform without the jacket because of the heat/humidity in Houston. The standard department dress is; Lt. Blue dress shirt (white for Chief's), navy pants, black shoes, silver badge/brass for FF, gold badge/brass for line officers.

    My Honor Guard is Slate Grey shirt, black pants (bloused) and black jump boots with spit shine and taps. Our cover is a black military beret with flash. We utilize different color ascots and cords (red, white or blue) depending on event. Our patch is similar to the department patch except a silver background and Honor Guard instead of fire rescue.
