[06AW] Old C.P. Company Switching Leather Wool Zip Up Jacket Size.50

 

This is a 2006AW ``Switching Leather Wool Zip-Up Jacket'' made by C.P. Company.

C.P. Company is an urban sportswear brand that combines functionality and innovation, founded in Bologna, Italy in 1971 by Massimo Osti, a graphic designer.

When it was first founded, it was active under the name "Chester Perry," but in 1978 the name was changed to the current "C.P. Company."

The "C.P." contained in the brand name means "Color of Passion," and as the name suggests, it is a product that combines deep color expression and functionality, and has captured the hearts of fashion enthusiasts and urban residents all over Europe.

The brand's greatest appeal is its craftsmanship, which combines "taylor-like construction beauty" with "the cutting edge of material engineering."
In short, it can be said that "designed clothing for functionality" - it can be said to be "wearable gear."

When talking about C.P. Company, "Garment Dye" is an essential part of the world's first innovative dyeing technology.

Clothes are usually sewn with dyed fabric, but C.P. Company has introduced a completely new approach of "dying the finished product entirely."
This technique creates deep, uneven color and delicate tone-on-tone expressions throughout the clothing, resulting in a unique vintage feel and "extremely elegant colors."

This dyeing technology has enabled the color expression of "60,000 colors" through years of research and development, and has become synonymous with C.P. Company, which overwhelms other brands.

What's even more noteworthy is the unique technique called "Double Dye in a Single Bath."

This is a process where materials of different compositions are dyed at once, and each composition is subjected to a different chemical approach, which allows multiple tones to be layered within a single piece to create a more dramatic "color shading."
This dyeing revolution made Massimo Osti a 'alchemist of materials and colors' attracting attention from all over the world.

The details, inspired by military and workwear, such as the iconic "Goggle Jacket" and the use of multiple pockets that are highly visible and functional, are not only practical, but also full of originality that gives off a sense of the "future vision of clothing."

Furthermore, Osti has developed innovative materials one after another, such as "ICE Jacket" and "Rubber Flax" and "Reflective Jacket".
The quest for "functional beauty" that combines design and technology is never over, and C.P. Company's clothing continues to evolve as a "worn experimental field."

This avant-garde spirit has not only been passed down to C.P. Company, but also to other brands created by Massimo Osti, such as STONE ISLAND, Boneville, and Left Hand, indicating that his philosophy has spread across the world beyond the boundaries of Italian sportswear.

This attitude has been recognized, and C.P. Company has established a solid position in major cities such as London, Paris and Tokyo, and is a brand that stands at the intersection of fashion and technology.

C.P. Company is a heresy craftsman who is a "explorer of color and function" and has given a new context to the "product of clothing."

The items they create are not just clothing.
You can enjoy the "story told by color" every time you wear it, and each piece, which is filled with functional beauty and philosophy, can be said to be "intelligent armor" for urban residents.

Introducing the first item released by CPC Company in 2006AW.

The design was created by Alessandro Pungetteti, who was the creative director of C.P. Company from 2001 to 2009 (re-appointed in 2012).Alessandro Pungetti)
This is a work from a time when he survived the greasy period, known for his skill in delving deep into military archives and reconstructing them for urban residents.

The skeleton of this individual is a flight jacket operated by the Luftwaffe during World War II.
The symbolic details are interpreted in a modern way, and functions and beauty of sculpture are combined.

First, the collar is equipped with a boa collar made from luxuriously packed sheepskin.

The back of the collar is equipped with a snap button chin strap, which wraps around the neck firmly and blocks out cold air.
The straps are marked with metal snaps with the brand logo, giving them design that is more than just functional parts.

A large patch pocket is placed on the left chest.

Although it has a simple structure that does not have a flap and fastens with one button, the three-dimensional leather texture adds strength to the front view.

Diagonally cut hand warmer pockets are placed on both waists, and the openings can be secured using button tabs.

These practical details come from flight jackets that combine cold protection and storage.

The material composition is also part of the functional beauty.

The front is made of heavy dark brown leather, and the sleeves and back are made of thick rib knit wool, ensuring range of motion and heat retention.

A brand label with the "C.P.COMPANY" logo is attached to the inside of the neck.

This individual is also a valuable "Italian" individual that many people will be looking for.
In later collections, more and more individuals are not produced in their home countries, so this is a piece that we would especially recommend to those who are particular about Italian-made products.

This individual is luxuriously made from high-quality leather on the front body.

The leather is thoroughly soaked in oil, and has a moist texture and natural luster, with slight wrinkles and shading of color appearing on the surface.

These are not processing, but the individuality of the material itself, and as they are worn over and over, they become even deeper and become a unique look.

The sleeves and back are made of thick rib knitted wool knit.

The dense knitting not only has excellent heat retention, but also ensures flexible elasticity when worn, and does not compromise ease of movement.

The smooth texture of the leather and the three-dimensional stitching of wool create a rich visual shading.

The colour is based on a deep dark brown color, and creamy sheepskin is placed on the collar.

The light, soft colors are inserted into the heavy tones, which softens the visual hardness and serves as a dignified accent.

Another feature is that the luster of the leather and the shadows of the wool change depending on the way the light hits it, showing a different look depending on the angle you look at it.

The material composition combines a heavy feel and warmth, and the color scheme has a deep color scheme due to the contrast between the texture.

This combination gives a solid presence in autumn and winter styles, while also making it a finish that will deepen your attachment to you the longer you stay with them.

Size notation is "50"
I think it falls in the Japanese size range "M to L".

Looking at the actual measurements, it is a golden size that suits the Japanese body type, so I think it can be worn by a wide range of people with a wide range of body types.

Although there is some signs of wear due to age, this item is in good condition, with no noticeable stains or scratches.
Of course, there are no major damage that can cause problems with wearing it, so I think it's still possible to wear it.

This masterpiece symbolizes the Punggetti era C.P. Company, which has been reinterpreted of Luftwaffe's archives and sublimated into urban military wear.

The beautiful construction of a skillful switch between leather and rib-woven wool, and the design based on military archives gives it a unique presence as intellectual outerwear for urban residents.

This is a perfect piece for your wardrobe or as a collection item.
This is a great item that will be a great item for collectors who like CPC, so if you are looking for it, don't miss this opportunity.
