It was only a matter of time before I would move onto the might that is CP Company. many believe that Cp is separate to Stone Island, but infact Massimo Osti developed and groomed Cp Company way before Stone Island was born. Lets look at the history, Osti landed a job designing an entire mens collection with a partner which named the company Chester Perry, hence CP. which later became Cp Company in 1978. Massimo continued to produce innovotive works using unique processes, which are still used today. up until 1994, and then left to have a downward spiral yet total freedom from such a giant he had created. Massimo was always uncomfortable with mass production and success, he wanted things his way, understated. The attention unerved him. Massimo Osti went on to create numerous other lesser known labels usually lasting only a season before moving onto new pastures.So back to Cp Company, personally one of my favourite labels, you dont understand the feeling of pulling on a Mille and been aware of their history. Its wonderful. there jackets known as by the masses goggle jackets, are a work of art, the materials used from linoflax to goretex give each piece its own identity and there are plenty of pieces to choose from. I own 5 Cp jackets and want more, the older the better, Im sure if your reading this you probably already own one, If not please learn and understand what the jacket is about appreciate its heritage and you will benefit so much more than been naive as to say they are football hooligans jackets, get over the fact of jealousy. educate yourself. Its not rocket science....
Today Cp has developed some of the best looking coats ever, their SS10 range of milles take on pastel colours and back returns the Cp Branding. A label respected by many who stand in awe of one lucky enough to pass you by. these are an investment, a history lesson and above all one of the greatest jackets and functions ever produced.
Massimo Osti - Cp Company we hail you..................................................
