The Camel Wool Twill CPO 2.0 Shirt by Fortela is inspired by the original WWII US Navy Chief Petty Officer overshirt, which became a standard military issue for decades, and has been reproduced with a refined fit and fabric. This CPO Shirt is crafted in a 10 oz. Extrafine Wool Twill milled by Manteco® using mulesing-free wool from ethically raised sheep, and lightly brushed to a flannel finish for a durable and sophisticated woolen with a luxurious drape. This garment is suited for any new-classic enthusiast, with improved aesthetics and detailing in an authentic up-production inspired by the timeless, battle-tested original, known for its uniform-dress functionality.

Drawing inspiration from heritage workshop productions and evolving vintage styles, this cleanly designed shirt-jacket is finished with genuine horn buttons, interior cotton twill trim for the collar, placket, and flap pockets, featuring single and double needle construction, as well as bartack reinforcements throughout.
