How to Care for and Wash a C.P. Company Piece
To care for a C.P. Company piece, wash it cold (30°C maximum) on a delicate cycle, turned inside out and fastened, with a mild detergent. Avoid the tumble dryer, a high spin, fabric softener and direct ironing. These rules preserve the technical fabrics and the garment dyeing that is the brand's signature. In this guide, we detail how to care for each fabric and how to look after the lenses.
Proper care extends the life of your piece and preserves its original look. Here is the complete method.
Why caring for C.P. Company requires attention
C.P. Company pieces are made from technical fabrics and are often garment-dyed, a process that produces unique but more delicate colours. Unsuitable washing can dull the colour, damage the fabric's water-repellent properties or distort the piece.
To understand the fabrics concerned, you can consult our guide to C.P. Company fabrics.
How do you wash a C.P. Company piece?
Machine wash your C.P. Company cold (30°C maximum) on a delicate cycle. Turn the piece inside out, close the zips and buttons, remove the lens and the goggles, and use a mild liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach, and opt for a low spin. This method preserves the colours and the technical fabrics.
The steps to follow:
- Turn the piece inside out and close the zips and buttons.
- Mild detergent, preferably liquid, in a small quantity.
- Cold delicate cycle (30°C maximum).
- Low spin so as not to mark the fabric.
- No fabric softener or harsh products.
Should you put a C.P. Company piece in the tumble dryer?
No, avoid the tumble dryer. Heat can shrink the piece, alter the garment dyeing and damage technical membranes or water-repellent coatings. Dry your C.P. Company in the open air, flat or on a hanger, away from direct heat and sunlight.
Care by fabric
Each C.P. Company fabric has its own care requirements:
- Nylon and windbreakers (Nylon B, 50 Fili): cold delicate wash, air dry. Do not iron on a high heat.
- Chrome-R: a water-repellent satin fabric, to be washed rarely and cold to preserve the coating.
- Garment-dyed pieces: wash separately the first few times (the colour may run slightly), always cold.
- Knitwear and cotton (sweatshirts, jumpers): cold delicate wash, dry flat to stop the piece losing its shape.
If in doubt, always follow the care label sewn inside the piece.
How do you care for the lenses and details?
The lenses on Goggle Jackets and details such as branded buttons need particular care. Clean the lenses by hand with a soft, damp cloth, without abrasive products. Avoid folding the hood at the lenses so as not to scratch or distort them.

How should you store your C.P. Company?
Proper storage extends the life of your piece. Hang jackets and Goggle Jackets on a suitable hanger to preserve their shape. Fold knitwear and sweatshirts to stop them stretching. Store your pieces in a dry, well-ventilated place, away from direct light.
