            Denim poncho adorned with numerous cotton jacquard embroidered badges, manufactured by Gainsborough Textile Mill in Suffolk. The badges, based on linocuts created in collaboration with illustrator Tom Baxter, offer a modern interpretation of 1950s Scout badges. The designs are inspired by Kibbo Kift imagery and include graphics such as three hands saluting, a heraldic fawn, a green man, an animal paw, a skeleton hand giving the finger, and a "no war" patch. The poncho is secured by two paracords and features four carabiner clips with knotted cords, along with one small dog clip.

            Semi-transparent white cape with a hood, made from white nylon mesh bonded with a rubberised 'Crystal Wind' coating. The cape fastens at the centre front with six press studs and features two vertical welted zipped openings on the front chest. On the lower left side, the text '000 C.P.' is heat-pressed in silver reflective vertical lettering.

            The cape is transformable into a tent with the addition of narrow aluminium rods that are threaded through channels around the bottom hem and along four sides, forming a domed structure. The hood unzips and flattens to create the top of the tent. An additional square of the same material, with metal eyelets at each corner and a cross shape of white webbing, is included. The piece is accompanied by a storage bag made from the same 'Crystal Wind' fabric, though the bag is in poor condition.

            Dark blue police cape made of rubberised cotton with leather buckle fastening. It fastens at the centre front with four concealed black buttons (each with a security button behind) and a black leather strap just below the collar.

The hem also has a wide band of waterproof tape bonded on internally to allow the cape to keep its shape. There are two black elastic tabs finished in gabardine that have been inserted and sealed with a panel of self-fabric onto the inside of the back panel to be attached around the wearer's waist with three buttons sewn onto the adjustable tabs. Two elastic loops are also positioned on either side for the wearer to put their arms and wrists through for extra security.
