This season, C.P. Company’s FW024 collection introduces the Mille Jacket and Car Coat, two pieces that epitomise the brand’s commitment to heritage-inspired design fused with cutting-edge textile innovation. Crafted in Shetland Twill by the British textile mill Abraham Moon & Sons, these garments pay homage to British craftsmanship while pushing the boundaries of functional fashion.
Founded in 1971 by Italian designer Massimo Osti, C.P. Company pioneered the concept of “sportswear as everyday wear,” blending the technical features of military and workwear with urban style. Known for its signature garment-dyeing techniques and innovative fabric research, C.P. Company has continually set itself apart with an ability to balance utility and aesthetics. The brand’s iconic “Goggle Jacket” and signature Lens detail have become symbols of modern urban wear, valued for their distinctive look and practical elements.
In the FW024 collection, C.P. Company brings these ideals forward with the Mille Jacket and Car Coat, crafted to meet both contemporary and traditional expectations.
Central to these pieces is the use of Shetland Twill from Abraham Moon & Sons, one of the last fully vertical woollen mills in the UK. Established in 1837 in Guiseley, Yorkshire, Abraham Moon oversees every step of the fabric production process in-house, from spinning and dyeing to weaving and finishing. This meticulous approach has been refined over 185 years, resulting in wool fabrics that are trusted for their premium quality, durability, and timeless appeal. Each textile carries a legacy of craftsmanship that’s nearly two centuries old, and the Shetland Twill used in this collection continues that legacy.
Shetland Twill is derived from Shetland wool, known for its unique lightness, softness, and warmth. Unlike other heavier wools, Shetland wool provides a comfortable yet insulating layer, making it ideal for outerwear. For this collection, the fabric is coated with a nylon reps finish, which enhances the material’s heat retention, durability, and resistance to the elements. This combination of softness and strength embodies the versatility that defines C.P. Company’s designs—garments that can handle both urban environments and outdoor adventures.
Both the Mille Jacket and Car Coat highlight C.P. Company’s commitment to timeless design. The Car Coat, a classic outerwear silhouette, has been updated with a detachable hood, providing adaptability while maintaining its traditional look. Each garment also features unique design elements that make them unmistakably C.P. Company: the 989 logo embroidered on the chest, a reference to the dates stamped on buttons of archival pieces, and the brand’s distinctive Lens detail on the left wrist.
In a fusion of Italian tailoring and British textile heritage, these garments are woven in the UK and finished in Italy, marrying two legacies of craftsmanship. The result is an outerwear collection that respects tradition while meeting the needs of modern style.
The FW024 Mille Jacket and Car Coat are a celebration of the rich history behind C.P. Company, Abraham Moon, and Shetland Twill, offering a rare blend of innovation, quality, and timeless design. These pieces not only stand as icons of contemporary menswear but also carry forward a legacy that fashion enthusiasts and collectors alike can appreciate for years to come.
The Shetland Twill Mille Jacket is a reimagining of the classic Goggle jacket, crafted in wool sourced from England and coated with a nylon reps layer. This coating enhances the natural properties of Shetland wool, adding durability and water resistance to its natural warmth and comfort. The jacket’s distinctive Goggle hood, an adjustable feature unique to C.P. Company, is both stylish and functional, embodying the brand’s fusion of utilitarian design and urban appeal.
