Polizei 144 Information

Polizei 144, founded by extreme rallysport champion Alexander Roy, features eye-catching and stylish leather racing jackets for men and women. The jackets, which are inspired by new and vintage police uniforms from around the world, bear various European country emblems and distinctive police-style emblems. Gumball and Bullrun champion Alexander Roy founded Polizei 144 in 2005. Captain of the notorious Team Polizei, he originally conceived of the jackets as part of his disguise. In the course of participating in 7 rallies, driving a BMW M5 outfitted to look like a German police car (polizei is German for police), Roy has become one of the most popular drivers on the rally circuit. His pranks have won him legions of fans worldwide, and the Polizei brand is instantly recognizable, making the jackets so popular and coveted that he made the decision to produce and sell them. The jackets are produced in limited runs with each jacket serial numbered. Up until now, sales have been by appointment only. In 10 months, Alexander Roy and his business partner, Lelaine Lau, have made swift headway building a presence in NY and LA. Simply appearing around town wearing the jackets, and providing them to high-profile style-setters and taste-makers has resulted in sales and press, including a mention in Women's Wear Daily. The jackets have been featured in Stuff Magazine, German In-Style, and were shown on the runway at both the NY and LA Dressed to Kilt fashion shows 2006, where they were worn by racing legend Sir Stirling Moss and Indy race car driver Alexis Fenton.
