The model for this shirt jacket is a classic deck shirt of the U.S. Navy, which was originally worn in cold weather as an intermediate layer over the normal clothing and under the deck jacket. Accordingly, it is generously cut. In this version it is made of heavy moleskin. This is densely woven, sanded and roughened, which makes it inimitably soft and grippy. Thus the shirt jacket also offers warmth when worn as a solitaire and defies wind and weather. It is closed with distinctive metal snaps and is equipped with two flap pockets on the chest and buttoned cuffs.

The Pike Brothers label from Bad Feilnbach in Upper Bavaria proves with garments inspired by textiles from the world of workwear that form and functionality are not mutually exclusive. While creative minds in other companies have to work out their cuts, the Pike Brothers collect, dissect and finally reconstruct historical originals from a wide variety of workspaces. Different material requirements and cuts are taken into account on a one-for-one basis. Fabrics are reissued in collaboration with traditional weaving mills. Finally, the Pike Brothers have the garments made by hand from selected European tailors. The resulting products tell a story by dint of their appearance. Moreover, they are proving themselves in practice, just like their historical role models did, to be highly functional and to offer the highest comfort – no matter what the activity.
