Form Meets Function, Reimagined
From the decks of 1930s naval ships to the windswept shores of Nantucket, the CPO Jacket's evolution reflects a legacy of form meeting function. Originally crafted for Chief Petty Officers who demanded warmth, durability, and all-weather resilience, the CPO Jacket's heavyweight wool and generous cut allowed for layering over thick knits, keeping sailors warm even in damp and unforgiving conditions. Nantucket Looms preserves these utilitarian roots while elevating the silhouette with subtle refinements: twin chest pockets, heirloom-quality buttons, distinct Liberty of London cotton lining, and a boxy structure that channels both heritage and understated coastal luxury.
Effortless in Every Season
The CPO Jacket offers effortless versatility, equally suited to golden-hour gatherings or early walks along Cisco Beach. Layered over crisp shirting or soft knits, it channels a refined nautical sensibility that is an iconic part of Nantucket. Designed with a unisex cut and timeless detailing, it adapts gracefully to changing light, shifting seasons, and the rhythms of coastal life—just as fitting for breezy spring mornings and cool summer nights as it is for brisk fall days.
Timeless Form, Everyday Function
Shaped by heritage, the CPO Jacket rises to meet Nantucket's shifting skies with quiet confidence. Its boxy, seafarer silhouette allows for easy layering, while naturally water-resistant wool shrugs off briny mist and dockside fog. The weight feels deliberate—substantial enough to anchor warmth, yet still nimble in motion. Pair something like our Black Tweed CPO Jacket with raw selvedge denim and weathered leather boots for a look that channels salt-worn mornings. Or dial it up with pressed chinos and sleek loafers, echoing the easygoing polish of harbor-front cafés. However styled, it effortlessly pays homage to its naval lineage while remaining versatile, resilient, and uniquely yours.
Woven with Intention
A Nantucket Looms CPO Jacket is more than outerwear; it's a continuation of a legacy stitched into every jacket. Each one begins in the Main Street weaving studio, where time-honored techniques and natural fibers come together to create custom wool tweeds rich in texture and tone like our Heather's Green Tweed. Inside, a vibrant Liberty of London cotton lining of your choosing offers a striking counterpoint: bold, patterned color tucked beneath an understated exterior. Once woven, the fabric is cut and sewn into form: a wearable archive of island heritage and handcrafted dedication. The result is a garment that not only honors tradition but also tells a story: of skill, of place, and of a commitment to enduring quality.
Crafted to Endure, Designed to Belong
For those drawn to authenticity and quiet refinement, a Nantucket Looms CPO Jacket offers both warmth and handwoven tradition. Each piece is made to order, with an 8–10-week production timeline that speaks not only to its custom tailoring, but to the deliberate pace of true craftsmanship. From the first question to the final stitch, our staff can guide you through every detail by phone or email. Whether you're choosing Liberty of London fabric or fine-tuning fit, we offer a truly personalized experience to ensure your CPO Jacket reflects your vision. With custom fits and timeless style, it's no wonder our CPO Jackets have remained a generational favorite on and off Nantucket for decades.
Anchored in Heritage
While fast fashion moves at the speed of impulse, a Nantucket Looms CPO Jacket moves at the pace of purpose. Its wool softens with time, its silhouette molds to its wearer, and its story deepens with you as each season passes. For those who seek pieces with soul, garments that honor tradition, elevate the everyday, and feel like they've always belonged, this jacket offers more than style. It becomes part of your own story, woven into your memories, shaped by the places you go and the life you lead. From the moment you put it on, a CPO Jacket provides a sense of place, a whisper of history, and the quiet satisfaction of something made to last.
