[88AW] Old C.P.Company Black Leather Blouson Size.50

1988AW, "Black Leather Blouson" 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 former graphic designer.

Initially, the company operated under the name "Chester Perry," but in 1978 the name was changed to the current "C.P. Company."

"C.P." in the brand name means "Color of Passion", and as the name suggests, the products combine deep color expression and functionality, and have captured the hearts of fashion lovers and city dwellers across Europe.

The brand's greatest appeal lies in its craftsmanship, which perfectly combines the beauty of tailor-like construction and the cutting edge of materials engineering.
Simply put, it's ``designed clothing that is functional.'' It can truly be called ``wearable gear.''

The world's first innovative dyeing technology called "Garment Dye" is essential when talking about C.P. Company.

Normally, clothes are sewn from dyed fabrics, but C.P. Company has introduced a completely new approach by ``dying the entire finished product.''
This technique creates deep color unevenness and delicate tone-on-tone expressions throughout the garment, creating a unique vintage feel and ``stately colors.''

Through years of research and development, this dyeing technology has made it possible to express up to 60,000 colors, and has become synonymous with C.P. Company, which surpasses other brands.

What is also noteworthy is the unique method called "Double Dye in a Single Bath."

This involves dyeing materials with different compositions at the same time and applying different chemical approaches to each composition, layering multiple tones within a single garment to create even more dramatic "shades of color."
This dyeing revolution made Massimo Osti attract attention from all over the world as an "alchemist of materials and colors."

Details inspired by military and workwear, such as the iconic "Goggle Jacket" and the use of multiple pockets with excellent visibility and functionality, are not only practical, but also full of originality that gives a sense of the future of clothing.

Furthermore, Mr. Osti has developed innovative materials one after another, such as the "ICE Jacket" (a jacket that changes color depending on the temperature), "Rubber Flax" and "Reflective Jacket".
There is no end to the pursuit of ``functional beauty'' that combines design and technology, and C.P. Company's clothing continues to evolve as a ``testing ground for wearing''.

This avant-garde spirit is not limited to C.P. Company, but is inherited by Massimo Osti's other brands such as ``STONE ISLAND'', ``Boneville'', and ``Left Hand'', showing that his ideas have spread beyond the boundaries of Italian sportswear and to the world.

This approach has earned C.P. Company a strong reputation in major cities such as London, Paris, and Tokyo, and it remains popular as a brand that stands at the intersection of fashion and technology.

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

The items they create are not just clothes.
Every time you wear it, you can enjoy the story told by the colors, and each piece is imbued with functional beauty and philosophy, and can truly be called an ``intellectual armor'' for city dwellers.

Like thatIntroducing a leather blouson from CP Company that is deeply reminiscent of Massimo Osti's own days.

The base has a neat balance reminiscent of a Harrington jacket, and the yoke design that draws an arc running down the back is especially impressive.
The classic details familiar from Harrington jackets such as the British brand "BARACUTA G-9" have been transformed into all-leather material in a C.P. style, giving it a more rugged and three-dimensional look.

Surprisingly, this kind of Harrington type x all leather has a low number of pitches regardless of the brand, so it is no wonder that many people are looking for it.

The collar is fastened with two buttons, and when closed, the neckline is designed to stand up like a stand collar.
In contrast to the heavy feel of the leather, it creates a sharp impression around the neck, so even if the inner layer is cut and sewn, the collar will be ``tight''.

When opened, it gives off a Harrington-like loose feel, and when closed, it leans toward fashion.
It can be said that this collar type has a wide range of styling options.

The pocket work is also perfect, with button-fastened handwarmer pockets at the waist that are cut in an arc to match the back yoke.

The point of C.P. is that just by having this curve, it creates a somewhat industrial and design product-like mood without being too linear and masculine.

The body has raglan sleeves that fit well on the shoulders, and the stiffness peculiar to leather is alleviated both visually and comfortably.
In addition, the sleeves and hem are rib-knit, creating a rounded silhouette and preventing wind from entering, making it highly practical.

While adhering to the classic "grammar of a blouson," the material is leather, giving it an even deeper impact.

The front has a zip-up design with a zip fastener, making it easy to put on and take off, but the original zip slider is missing, so please understand that as a condition.

This item uses "black leather" with a moist texture.

It has a fine grain texture and just the right amount of firmness, giving it a profound yet classy look.
The more you wear it, the more wrinkles will appear, and the gloss and unevenness will increase.
You can also expect the tasteful aging that is unique to leather.

The color is a deep black color.

Shadows are created where the light picks up and where the light sets, and the black color, which looks like ``smoky black,'' changes its expression each time the dull luster rises, giving off a unique presence that combines tranquility and power.

Furthermore, the lining has a brushed lining reminiscent of terracotta, and the back of the collar has a herringbone-like gray olive, making the ``multi-layered color scheme'' appealing, adding warmth to the coolness of black.

By inserting the inner color into the cool leather face, it creates a unique mood that combines hardness and sex appeal.

The size notation is "50"
I think it corresponds to "L ~ XL" in Japanese size.

Even if you look at the actual size, it will feel like a large size, so even people with large bodies can wear it without any problems.

There are signs of use such as fading, fraying, repair marks, missing tags, and missing zip sliders, but there is no major damage that would cause problems with wear, so I think it can still be worn.

In recent years, early C.P. Company has been reevaluated and its market price is on the rise.
In particular, the early pieces created by Massimo Osti himself are exceptional in their use of materials and the density of their design philosophy, making them unique pieces that cannot be found with other brands.

It can be called a special piece that recreates Harrington's neat grammar with all leather.
The C.P. style that sublimates ruggedness into a "product" is condensed.

Items from the 80's archives that meet the requirements of "Harrington type x all leather" are rare on the market.
For those who want to have both tranquility and power in one piece. Don't miss this opportunity.
