Description

The Indigo Dyed Canvas CPO Shirt by Fortela is inspired by the WWII US Navy original Chief Petty Officer overshirt that became a standard military issue for decades, reproduced with a refined fit and fabric. This CPO Shirt is crafted from an indigo-dyed, medium-weight 8 oz. Italian Canvas, which has been washed for softness, texture, and drape. It features an iconic military cloth known for its durability and wearability, which improves with age. This garment is suited for any new-classic enthusiast, showcasing an enhanced aesthetic and detailing in an authentic up-production inspired by the timeless, battle-tested original renowned for its uniform dress functionality. Derived from Alessandro Squarzi's famous archives, it has signature elements like a point collar and Navy anchor reproduction buttons for the front placket, cuffs, and flap front patch chest pockets. Speaking to heritage workshop productions and evolving vintage, this cleanly designed shirt jacket is expertly tailored and completed with bartack reinforcements. The Indigo Dyed Canvas CPO Shirt will become that style-forward heritage hallmark informed by militaria and workwear with a modern fit, designed for the man who balances his current fashion with old-world provenance.
