The "Long-Sleeves" Straitjacket

I purchased this unusual straitjacket through e-bay during the summer of 2000 for about $150. The previous owner apparently picked it up at a surplus auction by the PA state police. I am using the name "Long-Sleeves" because I first saw a picture of it on SJ Floats. That was the name used for it their because of the jacket's very long sleeves.

Close-up pictures of:

Sleeve ends and back loop.
Front straps. This also details the re-enforcement inside the jacket of the back loop.
Neck opening.
Ends of the long sleeves.

A front and back picture of the long-sleeves jacket.
Note that the front closure on this jacket makes it much easier to escape from. You can see the buckles as you try to loosen them.

Three pictures showing the back of the jacket. Notice how the ends of the sleeves make it quite close to the loop at the back of the jacket.

These three shots show the buckle for the arm/sleeve strap. This straitjacket is not very secure buckled this way. It took me about four minutes to get out.

This shot shows an alternate placement of the sleeve/arm strap/buckle and an alternate buckling arrangement. This would make escape MUCH more difficult.
