BEAMS PLUS X J.Crew CPO shirt

BEAMS PLUS has been designing distinctive, heritage-inspired styles since it was founded in 1999 by BEAMS, one of Japan's most admired lifestyle retailers. BEAMS PLUS creates original pieces that draw from authentic Americana style, bringing these timeless designs to a new generation. Our exclusive collection combines and plays with prep and uniform aesthetics, which results in familiar-yet-unique pieces. A naval favorite since the 1930s, CPO shirts were military-issued overshirts that crossed over into civilian life and became a staple of wardrobes across the country. While the originals were made in a heavy wool fabric to withstand inclement weather at sea, we built this one in 100 percent cotton for more versatility (and way less scratchiness) and gave it a mix of patterns.
