Schott NYC Men’s CPO Wool Long-Sleeve Shirt

Schott NYC® Men’s CPO utilitarian is the perfect piece for layering or as a lightweight jacket and has earned a place as a classic in any wardrobe. This heavy duty layer originated in the 1930’s as the uniform for Chief Petty Officers in the US Navy and Coastguard. It’s roomy fit allowed sailors to wear it over their sweaters as a shirt jacket. The heavy wool was strong, durable and water-repellent but lightweight enough to allow for functionality. It’s no surprise that the utilitarian shirt jacket spread across the military and discharged officers continued wearing them at home. They became a staple at Army/Navy surplus stores and gained popularity among civilians after the war.
