Collection: CP Company

C.P. Company was founded in 1971 by Italian designer Massimo Osti in Bologna – the same mind who later created Stone Island. Osti was obsessed with the idea of making military and functional fabrics usable for everyday clothing. This DNA is still present in every C.P. Company piece today.

The trademark is the Lens – a small, circular mineral glass lens attached to hoods, sleeves, or hats. What started as a functional goggle element on the Goggle Jacket (a hood with integrated protective lenses, inspired by military gear) became the ultimate identifier. When you see the Lens, you immediately know: this is C.P. Company.

In casual culture, C.P. Company holds an almost mythical status. While Lyle & Scott and Fred Perry serve as entry points, C.P. Company is the level many aspire to. The brand stands for a commitment to design, innovation, and quality that is unmatched in the casual segment. At the same time, C.P. Company is recognized in the high-fashion world – a balance few labels achieve.

Materials & Quality

C.P. Company is a material-focused brand. The fabrics are what set the label apart from the competition, and you pay a premium price for that:

Goggle Jacket / Shell-R: The Goggle Jacket – the brand’s grail piece – often uses Shell-R, a coated nylon that is water-repellent and extremely lightweight. The garment-dyeing technique (dyeing the garment after sewing) gives each piece a unique shade and vibrant texture.

Chrome-R: A coated cotton fabric that looks like aged leather and develops a natural patina effect. Chrome-R jackets get better with time – a conscious counterpoint to fast fashion.

Stretch Fleece: C.P. Company’s fleece products (often featuring the Lens detail on the arm) use a dense, heavy fleece with elastane content. Clearly higher quality than standard fleece, with better comfort and shape retention.

Cotton: Even the T-shirts and sweatshirts use heavier, garment-dyed cotton (220–280 g/m2), which feels luxurious and has a different color depth than normally dyed fabrics.

Fit & Size Advice

C.P. Company cuts Italian-style – meaning generally slimmer and shorter than British or American brands. If you come from Lyle & Scott, you’ll notice a tighter fit in the same size.

Jackets: Order one size up if you want to layer underneath. The Goggle Jacket fits perfectly over a T-shirt in your normal size, but you’ll need more room for a sweater underneath.

Sweatshirts and pullovers: True to size for a modern, close fit. One size up for a more relaxed look.

Pants: C.P. Company pants run slimmer than expected. The cargo pants in stretch materials offer more comfort, but measure your thigh width first if you have muscular thighs.

Hats: One size fits most head sizes well. The Lens hats are cut a bit tighter than standard beanies.

Bestsellers & Purchase Recommendations

Entry-level: The C.P. Company Goggle Hat (€129.00) is the classic entry into the brand. The goggle detail on the hat is instantly recognizable and an accessory that upgrades any casual look. Much more affordable than the jackets and still a true C.P. piece.

Mid-range: The C.P. Company Lens Crewneck Sweatshirt with Lens on the arm (€199.00) – garment-dyed, heavy cotton, the iconic Lens detail. An everyday piece that conveys the C.P. look without reaching four figures.

Premium: The C.P. Company Goggle Jacket (approx. €400–700 depending on material and model) is the brand’s grail piece. The integrated goggle hood, innovative materials, and unique design make it one of the most coveted jacket models in the world. Anyone serious about investing in casual fashion can’t miss the Goggle Jacket.

Best value tip: The C.P. Company cargo pants (approx. €200–280) are often overlooked but are among the brand’s best products. Stretch materials, garment-dyed, with the Lens detail – and much more wearable than the jackets because they are less dependent on material innovations for their price.

Styling Tips

C.P. Company is a brand that speaks for itself – understatement is key. A Goggle Jacket over a simple black T-shirt and dark jeans – that’s enough. The jacket IS the outfit. Avoid pairing C.P. Company with other loud brands – it looks overdone.

The Lens hat works as an instant upgrade with any casual outfit. Over the C.P. Company sweatshirt, it’s best to wear an unbranded jacket to let the Lens detail stand out.

For connoisseurs: C.P. Company in muted colors (Black, Total Eclipse, Olive) looks more elegant and mature. The brighter colorways (Tile Blue, Orange, Red) are louder and work better as deliberate statement pieces.
