Lakeside CPO

About this find

The Faherty Lakeside CPO is a shirt-jacket with a button-up front placket that runs the full length of the garment. A classic pointed collar frames the neckline, and the long sleeves finish with buttoned cuffs. The straight hem keeps the silhouette clean, so it reads as a jacket and a shirt at the same time.

Two chest patch pockets are the main design feature. Each one has a button-closure flap with a pointed edge, while the pocket bodies have angled lower corners. That shaping gives the front a little structure and character, and the flaps give you a way to close the pockets over small items you want to keep secure.

Contrast-style topstitching traces the pocket edges, seams and shoulders. It outlines the construction and adds a crafted look without any extra trim or graphics. Against a plain front panel, those stitched lines are what catch the eye, which makes the jacket look finished even when the rest of your outfit stays quiet.

Because it has a shirt collar and a jacket silhouette, it works in the space between a button-down and an outer layer. Try buttoning it fully, or leave it open over a plain tee so the topstitching and pocket flaps stand out. Roll the buttoned cuffs back once if you want a more relaxed sleeve.
