C.P. Company Magazine, worn by young Bolognese artist Andrea Renzini, who had just begun his career. Osti recognised people of his own kind. Experimenters. Explorers, if you prefer. It’s no surprise that his most famous creations are jackets which evokes adventure. The Explorer Jacket, in a way, embodies Osti’s work ethics: to push boundaries, to look further, towards the unexpected. C.P. Company Spring/Summer 2017collection reinvents this iconic garment, thanks to designers Paul Harvey and Alessandro Pungetti. The iconic detail of the lens sewn into the oversize collar is featured on two short jackets, produced using two different cutting-edge C.P. Compay fabric. The first fabric is Piuma 50, an ultralight version of C.P. Company’s iconic 50 Fili creaed by <b. Piuma 50 maintains exactly the same composition and construction technique as 50 fili but uses the latest fabric technologies to weigh only 80grms/sqm, 50% of the weight of the original fabric. Thanks to the new Component Dyeing technique, the fabric can be used to produce a fully-waterproof jacket with a softness and wearability unparalleled elsewhere on the market. The second fabric is Pro-Tek, a high-performance stretch polyester jersey with water repellent coating, developed specifically to combine the weight and comfort of a sweatshirt, but with the protective functions of an outer-layer.The result is a lightweight, extremely flexible and performing fabric.
Two new versions of the iconic Explorer Jacket, 29 years from his creation. They respect the original Osti design, updating it by using true performance fabrics. New fabrics for new silhouettes, built on consistents points of reference. Explorer Jacket perfectly embodies C.P. Company philosophy. Here’s an authentic icon, renewed with added performance, thanks to a continuous research work. An arrival point, a new beginning.
