Celebrating 20 Years of the Iconic CP Company Goggle Jacket

As any football going lad will know, the CP Company have been at the forefront of designing and manufacturing stylish yet rugged terrace wear for over two decades, and surely few garments of men’s designer clothing epitomise the CP company brand to a greater degree than their infamous goggle jackets. The perfect outer garment for the loveable rogue, this famous design of CP Company jacket celebrated its twentieth anniversary in 2009, with a special edition release celebrating its nigh on iconic status in the world of not only men’s designer clothing, but also its origins in racing wear and more contemporary role in the arena of football fashion.

The so called “Mille Miglia” jacket or “thousand miles” jacket first emerged as a gift created by the CP Company in association with their sponsorship of the famous Italian road race of the same name. Today there is no doubting that the jacket has come a long way since its initial conception by the great designer Massimo Osti - firmly taking its place as an iconic garment in the world of football fashion. Drawing on classic design elements that made the CP company goggle jacket so great and putting this alongside super high quality modern materials, the 20th anniversary edition of the jacket designed by Aitor Throup has become arguably the greatest incarnation of this stunning piece of men’s designer clothing.
