There US Navy CPO Shirt – a classic among outdoor shirts.

A sailor's life has always been harsh. Their clothing, too, had to adapt to the harshest weather. Over the years, specific shapes and materials became established in the navy. The 1943 CPO Shirt is one such garment that appeared in the US Navy. The cut and fabric, developed in the 1930s, have been modified only slightly over the years.

For this version, an authentic 1940s cut was selected. It features two large chest pockets and offers great freedom of movement.

It was originally made of heavy wool. For this version, Pike Brothers chose moleskin, also sometimes called English leather, which is a heavy cotton sateen brushed on one side. Moleskin is a fabric that is very commonly found among workwear because it is very durable. The warp is usually made of a thick twisted yarn while the weft is made of a softer yarn. After weaving, the reverse side of the fabric is brushed, giving it a soft feel reminiscent of suede.

It is a thick shirt that can be worn as a jacket.
