What is C.P. Company?
C.P. Company is a high-end Italian sportswear brand, founded by the designer Massimo Osti in the early 1970s. A pioneer of technical clothing and garment dyeing, it is renowned for its innovative materials and its iconic lens. To find out everything, read about the genesis of C.P. Company.
What does the lens (goggle) on C.P. Company jackets mean?
The famous lens is the brand's signature, conceived by Massimo Osti and inspired by the world of optics. It is generally found on the sleeve, and built into the hood of Goggle Jackets. Details in our guides to the lens badge and the Goggle Jacket.
How do you wash and care for a C.P. Company piece?
Most pieces should be washed at a low temperature, inside out, without fabric softener, always following the care label and, where applicable, removing the detachable lens badge before washing. Technical materials and garment-dyed pieces require particular care. Find all the best practices in our guide to caring for a C.P. Company piece.
Does C.P. Company run large or small?
Fits vary depending on the model and the era. It is always better to check the measurements rather than relying solely on the size on the label, especially when buying pre-owned. Our C.P. Company size guide helps you choose.
How do you recognise genuine C.P. Company?
You need to examine the whole piece: build quality, labels, seams, the lens badge and, if the piece has one, the Certilogo system. No single detail is enough on its own. Follow our method for recognising genuine C.P. Company and our guide to decoding labels and codes.
What are C.P. Company's iconic fabrics?
The brand is known for materials such as 50 Fili, Chrome-R and Nylon B, often combined with garment dyeing. Each fabric has its own properties and care requirements. We explain it all in our guide to C.P. Company fabrics.
What is the difference between C.P. Company and Stone Island?
The two brands were born of the same vision (Massimo Osti's) and share a technical DNA, but differ in their style and their symbol: the lens for C.P. Company, the compass for Stone Island. A full comparison in our article C.P. Company vs Stone Island.
Should you buy pre-owned C.P. Company?
Yes, provided that authenticity has been checked: pre-owned gives you access to the brand at a better price and opens the door to rare models. Favour a seller who authenticates every piece. Our advice is in the guide to pre-owned C.P. Company.
Is the lens detachable?
On many pieces, the lens badge is attached with a detachable fastening and can be removed, particularly for washing. This does, however, depend on the model. If in doubt, handle it with care.
How much does C.P. Company cost?
The price depends on the model, the material, the condition and the rarity: accessories and sweatshirts are the most accessible, while technical jackets and Goggle Jackets are more high-end. The actual price is shown on each product page. Discover our pieces in the C.P. Company collection.
