Founded in 1971 by Massimo Osti, C.P. Company emerged from the politically and artistically charged atmosphere of 1970s Bologna. Originally launched as Chester Perry, the brand evolved into C.P. Company in 1978, marking the beginning of a new chapter in Italian sportswear. Osti, later dubbed the “Godfather of Sportswear,” transformed graphic experimentation into a revolutionary approach to fabric and form.

Innovation as Design Language
C.P. Company is synonymous with technical research and textile innovation. The brand pioneered garment dyeing, creating depth, texture, and a lived-in character that became instantly recognizable. Military references, functional detailing, and ergonomic silhouettes define its aesthetic—where utility meets refined experimentation.

Subculture and Identity
From Italian streets to British football terraces, C.P. Company became embedded in global subculture. The iconic Goggle Jacket, with its integrated lens detail, evolved into a symbol of individuality and belonging. Over decades, the brand has bridged communities across Europe and beyond, becoming more than clothing—a cultural marker.

Responsibility Through Research
C.P. Company approaches responsibility through material innovation, durability, and considered production. Technical fabrics are developed with performance and longevity in mind, supporting a philosophy of purposeful design rather than disposable fashion.
