The CPO first made its appearance on the decks of navy ships in the 1930​s. The heavy wool shirts with a single flap pocket were issued to Chief Petty Officers (hence the name CPO shirt). This Faherty midweight fleece style is q​uilted with three layers for structure, texture and warmth. It's​ endlessly versatile, offers many utility details and is a great​ choice as a transition piece when the cooler months roll in. It's perfect for layering or wearing on its own over a T-shirt with jeans. In a cotton and polyester blend, it's breathable, easy-to-wear and allows for the freedom to move without restriction. ​​Plus, you'll only find it here at DXL in Big and Tall sizes.
