Pike Brothers 1943 CPO Shirt Barrow Red

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

While traditional CPO shirts were commonly produced from heavyweight wool, this version is made from 100% cotton with a brushed finish. 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. Its authentic 1940s-inspired cut offers plenty of freedom of movement, while two large chest pockets reinforce the practical workwear character of the original CPO design.

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

Finished in distinctive Barrow Red 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.
