MORE INFO:
A CPO shirt, or Chief Petty Officer shirt, is a heavy wool outerwear shirt that originated in the United States Navy in the 1930 as a layering piece for cold-weather work. It’s a classic piece of American military apparel that has become a staple for many, including hunters, hikers, and anyone who needs a rugged, functional shirt.
Melton wool is most amongst the most robust and sought after. Due to its thick, dense weave, Melton wool is often deployed on archetypal naval garments.
