Product
Life on deck was and is a rough affair. That's why clothing had to be specially designed for wind and weather. Over the decades, certain materials and fits have been developed in the seafaring industry and proved themselves. The 1943 CPO Shirt is one such garment that has evolved in the Navy and is still used today. Originally developed in the 1930's the cut and material has changed only slightly over the decades. Good freedom of movement and two large chest pockets characterize the Pike Brothers 1943 CPO Shirt.
Originally CPOs were made from a heavy wool fabric. Over the decades a wide variety of materials have been used.

Brand
Pike Brothers was founded in 1930 by brother George and Joseph Pike. Their small yet high-quality clothing store was located in the famous Portobello Road, Notting Hill, in the heart of London. Custom clothing for men was their specialty. During the Second World War they produced uniforms for American military forces. This was the time when American soldiers came over to England. Pike Brothers managed to combine the best materials with European craftsmanship and create the unmistakable clothing you see today. They simply struck a brilliant balance between American workwear and European expertise. A legacy that defines Pick Brothers to this very day.
Pike Brothers distinguishes itself by respecting and celebrating the original functionality of its clothing instead of simply aiming for superficial succes. All clothing is made in Europe and produced the old-fashioned way. Pure craftsmanship and the best materials add up to this stylish and timeless clothing. Pike Brothers is that perfect combination of style and functionality.
