Pike Brothers 1943 CPO Shirt Barrow Orange

The Pike Brothers 1943 CPO Shirt in Barrow Orange takes inspiration from classic U.S. Navy deck shirts developed for sailors working in demanding conditions at sea. Originally appearing during the 1930s, the U.S. Navy CPO shirt became a practical piece of naval clothing thanks to its comfortable fit, freedom of movement, and rugged construction.

Life on deck with a Chief Petty Officer Shirt

While traditional CPO shirts were originally developed from heavy wool fabric, this version is made from 100% cotton with a brushed finish making it feel soft and comfortable. The result is a soft, comfortable flannel-like feel that retains the authentic character of the original design while making it easy to wear as an everyday shirt or lightweight outer layer.

Authentic 1940s Naval-Inspired Styling

Constructed from substantial 310 g/m² cotton, the 1943 CPO Shirt provides a durable yet comfortable feel. The 1940s-inspired authentic cut offers good freedom of movement and an authentic fit, while two large chest pockets reinforce the practical workwear character of the original CPO design.

The fabric is prewashed for a softer feel from the first wear and to help minimise further shrinkage.

Finished in distinctive Barrow Orange and made in Portugal, the Pike Brothers 1943 CPO Shirt combines classic U.S. Navy heritage, comfortable brushed cotton, and timeless workwear styling for a versatile addition to any vintage-inspired wardrobe.
