30s Chief Petty Officer (C.P.O) Pullover Shirt in Indigo Yarn-Dyed Cotton Flannel (Lot. JG-04)

The Story

This product is part of the John Glucow x Warehouse collaboration collections. 

The CPO shirt was introduced to the U.S. Navy in the 1930s, initially assigned to Chief Petty Officers (CPOs). Cut from a warm, robust, navy wool flannel, the CPO had a roomy fit that allowed officers to wear it over their chunky knits as an outerwear piece. The shirt was eventually worn by standard naval officers and was favored by sailors for its cozy, hard-wearing material.

The original shirt that the Warehouse team reproduced was in wool, but to make it more versatile, they now use a 100% cotton fabric. A heavy cotton flannel. It features a wide pullover placket, a chinstrap, and fabulous labels, among other great details. 

Note: this is a heavy winter product. Do not attempt to wear it in the summer months. At your own risk.
