The 1943 CPO shirt (Chief Petty Officer) was originally made to wear as extra layer underneath the N1 Deck Jacket. Because of the thick quality of the wool, however, the shirt can easily be worn as an outer layer both in spring and autumn as well. This version is done in an amazingly good looking and soft to the touch moleskin fabric. Moleskin is made of heavy one sided brushed cotton sateen. Its durability make it a often used fabric for workwear. The warp is usaually made of twisted heavy yarn, while the weft is made of a softer yarn. After weaving the left side of the fabric is brushed, giving it a soft touch, reminiscent of suede.
