C.P. Company and Mackintosh launch outerwear collaboration
C.P. Company has collaborated with Mackintosh on a new outerwear collection. The partnership blends C.P. Company's Italian technical innovation with Mackintosh's British waterproof heritage. This collaboration is emblematic of an industry trend toward technical heritage and cross-brand craftsmanship narratives.
- The collection, launching February 26, 2026, reinterprets two specific outerwear silhouettes: a Mackintosh car coat with a removable Goggle hood priced at £1,360, and a C.P. Company Goggle Jacket priced at £1,270. - Both pieces are handcrafted in Mackintosh's Scottish factory from the brand's signature bonded cotton, a material patented by Charles Macintosh in 1823, which involves bonding two layers of cotton with a rubber core. - For C.P. Company President Lorenzo Osti, the collaboration is a nod to his father, brand founder Massimo Osti, who admired Mackintosh and developed innovative textiles like Rubber Wool and Rubber Flex in the 1980s to improve natural fibers with technical treatments. - The garments are each cut, sealed, and taped by a single master craftsman using a rubber-based solution, a testament to the artisanal precision Mackintosh has refined over two centuries. - C.P. Company, originally named Chester Perry, was founded by Massimo Osti in 1971 and pioneered the technique of garment dyeing in the mid-1970s, which creates a unique chromatic richness in finished apparel. - Now owned by Japanese group Yagi Tsusho, Mackintosh has previously pursued a more fashion-forward direction through collaborations with brands such as Celine, Balenciaga, and Vetements. - The collection will be sold through both brands' websites and in C.P. Company's flagship stores in key fashion cities, including Milan, London, Paris, Seoul, and Tokyo.
