Pike Brothers - 1943 CPO Shirt - Atlanta Grey

Description 

Inspired by the rugged military clothing of the 1940s, the Pike Brothers 1943 CPO Shirt in Atlanta Grey is a substantial piece of heritage workwear designed to provide exceptional warmth and protection against the cold.
The CPO shirt takes its name from the Chief Petty Officers of the United States Navy. Originally developed as a practical garment for sailors working in harsh conditions at sea, these heavy wool shirts were designed to provide an additional insulating layer beneath the iconic N-1 Deck Jacket. Their durable construction and generous cut allowed sailors to move comfortably while remaining protected from the elements.
Pike Brothers has recreated this classic naval design using heavyweight 100% merino wool, with an impressive fabric weight of 460g/m². Naturally insulating and breathable, the wool provides excellent warmth without the need for excessive layering, making this shirt an ideal choice for colder months.
The Atlanta Grey colourway features a richly textured charcoal-grey fabric that gives the shirt a distinctive vintage character. Its traditional button-front construction, practical chest pockets and adjustable buttoned cuffs stay true to the functional details of the original military design.
Cut in an authentic, comfortable silhouette, the 1943 CPO Shirt can be worn as a substantial overshirt over a T-shirt or knitwear, or layered beneath a heavier jacket when temperatures drop.
Made in Portugal, this is a timeless addition to any wardrobe, combining traditional naval styling with dependable cold-weather functionality.
