You know all the times I’ve said “glorious” about a product over the years? I now have to re-evaluate my taxonomy. Sublime perhaps?

@Memphisakers:

I immediately started going down a rabbit hole on Fox Brothers Mill… They have a super impressive history. All the British chaps have to be STOKED about this one! Any chance there are more pictures of either one of the fox brothers CPOs? I gotta start figuring out how to style one of these and which one to buy!!

Yep, when the product goes live, here and at Division Road….

Aw hell yes!!
Sublime works @neph93 along with glorious and over the top and suave as fuck.

[J-IV]

Oh shit.. ???

How am I going to justify this one. Its cold out here maybe 2 months out of the year..

I keep coming back to look at the pics…

As a western fan (with only 2 work shirts in a recent and rapidly burgeoning collection of westerns as I tumble deeper down the rabbit hole) I too am sorely tempted although I’m torn on the colours / pattern!

Christ on a tricycle. This is the one. Those XL measurements are dreamy.

I have a flight jacket in Fox brothers wool and it's my go-to waist-length cold weather jacket -only reason I haven't picked up an N-1.

Oh my…the sizing is perfect.
@Matt whats the status of the Airstream?
Maybe I can live under it… :-\

[Memphisakers]

No hand warmer pockets on this one?

I’m quite happy about that. Gives it a much cleaner look which something this refined deserves.

[Memphisakers]

With the CPO distinction in the title I just expected them to be there. I was planning to wear as a over shirt…no hand warmers makes it a no go for me. Bummer 

[Giles]

CPO does not necessarily mean hand-warmers…..

I’m aware of that… but isn’t this the first Iron Heart CPO without them?

Iron heart glossary definition

CPO Issued to Chief Petty Officers of the US Navy since the 1930’s, the CPO shirt was originally a shirt/jacket hybrid, made of navy dyed wool. Designed as an easily removable cold weather layer for servicemen, the CPO became a post-war civilian menswear staple due to its practical qualities and versatility.

At Iron Heart, our CPO’s retain the functionality of the original military overshirt, then dial it up by adding handwarmer pockets and effective, secure, snap closure. The cut is more fitted, references western styling, but just like the originals, they are built like a battleship to protect you from the elements. Available in a variety of fabrics, lined and unlined.

Nope…..

and the other colours we made in this....

Nice forgot about that one. Still a lovely shirt without the pockets! Love the history of the fabric and the patterns you guys picked. This will be a great one for people who don’t care for hand warmers!

I love hand warmers. I just think this one works better without. I will be wearing it over tees/henley’s as a middle layer though.
