The Filson CPO Chambray — I wear it buttoned all the way up and explain it to no one.
In Rinsed Indigo with raw denim and brown leather boots, the CPO Shirt creates a monochromatic and straightforward American workwear silhouette. Worn open over a thick white T-shirt with cargo pants, it creates a natural casual-workwear layering.
Rinsed Indigo Cotton ChambrayChambray is woven with white weft threads and indigo warp threads that create a slight natural marl. The rinse softens the fabric and slightly desaturates the blue for an authentically worn look.
Historical CPO CupThe CPO cut—broad shoulders, straight length, classic shirt collar—is directly inspired by 1950s U.S. Navy uniform shirts. It supports layering without constraint.
Two patch breast pocketsThe two large chest pockets are the signature of the CPO shirt—large enough for notebooks, tools, or a phone. Functionality over aesthetics.

The Filson Chambray CPO Shirt is the Seattle-based company's service shirt — CPO stands for Chief Petty Officer, the US Navy officer who wore this type of two-pocket shirt as a work uniform. A direct and honest reference to the functional origin of this shirt model.
Made from Rinsed Indigo Chambray, the chambray fabric — a plain-woven cotton with threads of different colors creating a slight melange effect — is treated with a rinse that gives it the natural look of washed chambray without stiffening it. The rinsed indigo blue creates a slightly irregular hue reminiscent of shirts worn on ship decks and in American workshops of the 1950s. The loose straight cut allows for layering, and the two large chest pockets free up your hands for actual work.
Available at L'Industrie store in Pau — 14 rue des Cordeliers.
You wear Indigo chambray because it's the fabric that ages best with washing.
You know what CPO means and you want the shirt that matches that reference.
