Ripstop CPO
Story
A military-inspired classic in durable ripstop, ready for your next adventure
The Ripstop CPO (Chief Petty Officer) Shirt Jacket owes its rugged good looks and timeless utility to the original 1930's naval shirt—a favorite within the U.S. military for its simple yet effective design. Upgraded with a lightweight, durable ripstop fabric and half-lined in ultra-soft cotton waffle knit, Relwen's CPO acknowledges the irresistible pull to get your hands dirty while dialing up the comfort of traditional workwear. Six buttons close it up from the front and two button adjustments at the cuffs allow you to wear it closer to the wrist for a more precise fit. The CPO has a few hidden tricks up its sleeves as well: hidden hand warmer pockets stitched on-seam for when it gets cold and two chest pockets with concealed zipper closures to securely store small EDC. There's also a drawcord at the bottom hem to pull it in close to the body and trap heat when the weather turns.

About Relwen
There’s a certain familiarity to Relwen that reminds us of days spent paging through old Sears and Roebuck catalogs, lusting over lever-action rifles, brass compasses, and rugged outerwear. In a way, those things and more have shaped the modern Relwen collection, where classic Americana, a vintage hunting aesthetic, and modern technical upgrades all blend into perfectly considered menswear that will last you for years. They cut their teeth in the open country of the Midwest, and still roost in Columbus, Ohio, today. The fields, farms, and hard-working spirit of America’s heartland give them their motto, “be lasting.” So every purposeful seam, pocket and cuff stays true to what drew us to them in the first place: a perfect balance between the heritage of the past and the thoughtful technical details of the future.
