The U.S. Navy introduced a range of now-iconic garments but one could argue that CPO is the most versatile of the bunch. Heavyweight melton wool made up in a robust overshirt silhouette that can be dressed up or down, the CPO is a shoo-in for the modern wardrobe. Despite being a pillar of USN design, few, if any, brands are making authentic CPO Shirts in the USA. And that’s where Cockpit USA comes in.
Made in the USA from a 85/15% wool/nylon melton cloth that weighs in at 20-22 oz. per square yard, Cockpit USA’s CPO Shirt is a three-season beast that’s boxy enough to throw over a heavyweight knit in the winter, but refined enough to drape perfectly over a button-down on a cool spring day.
Two front chest pockets, anchor buttons, and a curved hem – all of the timeless trappings of the OG CPO Shirt are here in force, with Cockpit USA adding its own flair with a comfortable silky, branded lining on the yoke and collar. They’ve also added a metal USN Chief Petty Officer pin, a detail that commemorates the maritime beginnings of this unquestionably stylish piece of workwear.
Available in Navy and Olive for $325 from Cockpit USA.
