This 1943 CPO Shirt is a faithful reproduction of the iconic U.S. Navy deck shirt, originally issued to Chief Petty Officers during World War II. Designed for harsh, cold-weather conditions at sea, it was worn as a vital insulating layer.
Crafted from a dense, heavyweight wool, the 1943 CPO Shirt delivers exceptional warmth even when worn on its own. Wind-resistant and naturally insulating, it is built to withstand rough weather while aging gracefully with wear—just as the originals did.
Defining features of the 1943 CPO Shirt:
100% premium merino wool
Heavyweight 460 g/m² fabric
Authentic WWII-era cut and detailing
Expertly made in Portugal
