Pike Brothers 1943 CPO Shirt Hamburg Blue

The Pike Brothers 1943 CPO Shirt Moleskin in Hamburg Blue takes inspiration from classic U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer shirts, originally developed to provide sailors with durable clothing for demanding conditions at sea whilst making it comfortable at the same time.

While traditional U.S. Navy CPO shirts were commonly made from wool, Pike Brothers has recreated this heritage design using heavyweight German-woven moleskin. Made from 100% cotton, the fabric combines impressive durability with a soft, comfortable feel, making the shirt ideal for everyday wear, workwear, and layering during cooler weather.

Heavyweight Moleskin with Authentic 1940s Styling

The substantial 410 g/m² cotton moleskin features a brushed surface that creates its distinctive soft texture and suede-like appearance. This combination of rugged construction and comfort makes moleskin particularly well suited to traditional workwear.

An authentic fit with a roomy 1940s-inspired cut provides plenty of freedom of movement while maintaining the distinctive silhouette of the original CPO shirt. Pike Brothers logo snap buttons complete the design with a practical heritage-inspired detail.

Finished in Hamburg Blue and made in Turkey using German-woven moleskin, the Pike Brothers 1943 CPO Shirt combines naval heritage, heavyweight construction, and timeless workwear styling in a versatile piece built for years of wear.
