Hello! I'd like to ask couple of questions about NYPD uniforms and equipment (about NYPD because I'm particularly interested about police in New York area).
1. Is the NYPD uniform same as LAPD except for insignia and colour (NYPD=NYPD Blue and LAPD=black?) I think the jacket is different because doesen't LAPD have fur collars?
2. What corporation makes NYPDs uniforms? I'm especially interested in the jacket since I wasn't able to find any pictures with google that would verify that what type of jacket is actually used by NYPD. I've seen them on TV in movies etc. and it seems that they have different type of pocket flaps than on uniform shirts? Why?
3. Can officers use their uniform allowance to buy any similiar uniform items or do they have to be made by this specific corporation?
4. Do all officers carry sidehandle batons?
5. Do auxiliary police carry the same type of baton as sworn officers?
6. Who makes the NYPD duty belts and other gear? Are they real leather?
Thanks already for the answers!
/edit
Wait is this the NYPD jacket?

How do the size chart go? Those look like Large - Long why are the officers wearing so baggy and too long jackets??
