CP Company - A/W 2009/2010 - 20th Anniversary Mille Miglia Jacket

The 20th Anniversary Goggle Jacket, designed by Aitor Throup, has always been a non affordable dream of mine, but now i got the chance to get my hands on this fantastic jacket due to the fact that the prices of these have become a bit more "realistic" (RRP on these was 1500 GBP) They also came in a limited number of just a few hundred pieces (around 300?!).

The goggle jackets have always been a dedication to the famous italian Mille Miglia race, Massimo Osti designed his first Mille Miglia jacket for the drivers of this Race. With goggles as a protection against the wind and a watchviewer lense to have the possibility to check the watch without moving the cuffs of the jacket while driving the car. These details have made this jacket so famous and are iconic for CP Company these days.

The 20th Anniversary Jacket is designed for driving as well. The whole anatomy of this jacket is designed to fit perfect while sitting in the car. It`s even possibel to adjust the jacket into a perfect fit for a driving position. There a re so much lovely details on this jacket, like a little extra pocket, buttons, gloves and of course, the colour. This jacket has been dyed in the famous Tinto Terra style and this gives the piece a perfect field jacket/military look. Military designs have always been a big influence for CP Company and Stone Island Collections. Aitor Throup has hit the nail on the head with this jacket and put a lot of ideas and SPW history into this iconic piece.
