Behind the Seams - CPO Jacket

Behind the Seams is a series where we take a deeper dive into one of our favorite pieces in the collection. The man behind the design, Faherty Founder - Mike Faherty, gives you a behind the scenes look at what goes into making our products something we are proud of. In this video, we’re jumping headfirst into the Faherty CPO Jacket. Sturdy construction. Everyday versatility. Rugged appeal. The Chief Petty Officer (CPO) jacket has earned a golden reputation. Today, it’s nearly synonymous with utilitarian style. The CPO began as an essential piece for the Chief Petty Officer in the U.S. Navy, serving as a layer that could withstand the demands of the officers’ day-to-day duties. It later became a favorite among outdoor enthusiasts as the perfect layer for protection against the elements. Eventually, brands across America adopted it as a staple in their collections, turning it into an American classic. Drawing on the CPO’s legacy of boundless versatility, we’ve reimagined this timeless jacket in our own way. Our iteration is the perfect pairing of your favorite shirt and your favorite jacket, making it a layering essential when the temperature drops. We even sewed pockets into the seams, adding even more utility to this utilitarian classic.
