A new addition to our shirting range this season is the perfect embodiment of our AW20 motto and guiding credo: “A Parallel Of Old And New”. Inspired by the classic US Navy ‘C.P.O. Shirt’ our Overshirt is a handsomely heavyweight piece of kit, offering the wearer an added layer of cooler weather comfort.
Originally introduced in the 1930s, the CPO (Chief Petty Officer) shirt was designed for wear on deck, and it made its way back into civilian life as a mutable piece that could double as a lighter weight jacket. Since WWII, it has remained a rugged staple in many men’s wardrobes.
Our version features a generously cut fit, two flapped & buttoned breast pockets with eye catching inverted box pleats, and a matching inverse pleat on the rear of the shirt. Available in a double faced two ply orange cotton witch pin tuck detailing, and a mink coloured cotton/wool mix.
Both colour ways are available online and in store now.
