Vintage 1950s Dog & Bone Vintage Wool CPO Shirt Navy Blue S/M

Description: Item: Heavy wool CPO shirt in a deep navy blue, built in the classic naval overshirt silhouette with a full button front, two large chest pockets and a structured collar. Cut from dense wool with a soft brushed finish, giving excellent warmth while retaining a clean, sharp shape. Simple, utilitarian design that sits perfectly between shirt and jacket, ideal for layering. Era: 1950s–1960s Brand: Unbranded Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Wool remains dense and strong with no thinning, and the shape is still crisp. Buttons and stitching are secure throughout. Any light surface wear is consistent with age and adds to the authenticity rather than detracting from it. A particularly clean example for a piece of this era. Provenance Note:CPO shirts were originally issued and worn by the US Navy as cold-weather workwear, designed for durability, warmth and practicality. Their clean lines and functional construction later made them a staple of civilian workwear and outdoor clothing. Originals from the 1950s and 60s are increasingly scarce, especially in this condition, and they carry a level of authenticity and material quality that modern reproductions struggle to match. Measurements: Size on garment: N/A Our modern sizing estimate: S/M Shoulder to shoulder: 18" Pit to pit: 20" Inner sleeve to cuff: 18" Under collar to lower back: 27" Condition Notes: Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a story, and we cannot guarantee any item will be totally free of marks / damage but anything we think of note will be mentioned. Furthermore, a lot of vintage items gain character because of wear and tear. Buying a true vintage item is not the same as buying new and is not to be confused with second-hand clothing. We have also tried to accurately depict each garment using a photography setup with over 90% true to life accuracy. We do not take photos of inside the garment. Sizing Notes: Please take the time to measure up yourself and match to the measurements noted, the way you want the item to fit. We are only a micro business and unable to cover the costs of returns. Buying true vintage clothing: When buying true vintage clothing, you are buying a piece of clothing as an investment. We believe most of our true vintage items will hold or increase in value in years to come. We hope you will cherish your purchase. Returns: We are a micro business and sadly cannot cover the cost of returns. We accept refunds within 14 days of the item arriving with you if you are in the UK and 30 days for Europe and International. This means the returns must be back with us within those 14 days in the UK and within 30 days for Europe and International items. Please see our returns policy page for full information.
