- Massimo Osti brand C.P. Company hasn't enjoyed the same explosion in popularity as Stone Island, but there are lots of things to like. There are similarities between individual pieces and some unique items not seen in Stone Island. If you're interested in techwear or streetwear, they're definitely worth having on the radar.

The arm lens is great to show off your stone island tattoo!
Now that's technical wear
Started off life as a watchviewer .... now it’s a little plastic thing stuck on everything 🤣
@@FulhamboyH It's fantastic & instantly recognisable branding.
@@FulhamboyH well put mate. 👍🏻
Stone island tattoo incase it kicks off at the beach. Bosh
Having owned several CP pieces I can safely say they're a great clothing company. Quirky nature, beautifully made(for the best part), and a fit like no other. My only criticism is some of the pieces are quite short in length. My piéce de résistance has to be my 2012 A/W tinto terra mille miglia goggle jacket. Awesome jacket albeit quite heavy. Not one for walking long distances in.
I agree. And the sleeves tend to be on the long side especially in jackets. It’s somehow a very Italian fit catering for long limbs and short torsos. Works well for me, though. Especially the trousers!
The tinto terra was a fantastic Mille
@@miamiglia Tinto Terra, Dynafil, Metal blends... these youngins don't know. Disappointed ant failed to mention the 90's transformable/inflatable, and infamous metropolis smog jacket (is antwon a millennial?)... CP was way ahead of stoney back in the day and still under the radar. "Urban Protection" gave birth to "street wear".
CP is so underrated. Popularity is constantly growing too, annoyingly I don’t think most people have any idea how important the brand is
Hey Antwon, Idk if you will see this but I just wanted to say thank you for all the content and recommendations over the years, really enjoy your content with all the subtle jokes and such. I hope you're having a blast too making these videos, don't forget your personal enjoyment!
He doesn’t want to ride the rattlesnake with you
Just picked up my first CP Company pieces and ran across this video - great overview of the brand!
Grabbed a fantastic garment dyed CP Company crewneck second hand recently - it's got a huge zip up the left side which allows the front of the piece to fall at a diagonal across my body. Super cool as a layering piece and something I haven't seen very much of at all - defintely going to grab a few more pieces in the future. Loving the new space btw!
Like CP is to pay attention to my shop, top quality, price concessions：www.wish.com/product/609bc87ff64e9fd295d18d4d?share=web
Got some of their cargo joggers this year for around £100, one of my best purchases, great material and minimal design, been living in them for the last 4 months
Extremely glad that you spotlighted CP Ant! They definitely get overlooked as you say, while putting out some stellar pieces on the regular! One thing to let you know about the Tracery pieces, is that they're actually printed via sublimation and not dyed as mentioned. I luckily picked up the Metropolis (black) a couple weeks back before the 48 sold out.. it's savage, but costly, but worth it ;)
One thing to let you know CP's Tracery was already done by SI back in Season 46.
Love the quality of ur video as always ❤
Thanks so much!
Love C.P. Company amazing quality 🔥
Great introduction for this brand!!!
Just ordered a Nylon P vest like yours in an awesome dusty green colorway. Got it for 200 GBP on DePop, which feels like a beyond reasonable price for the quality and features. Thanks for putting me on to that vest! (Had to cop now before more people see this video)
Big fan of both C.P. company and Stone Island. Regarding C.P. company; I own a nylon jacket, softshell jacket, cotton hoodie and a re-colour longsleeve. The quality is really topnotch. And like you said, it's a great alternative for Stone Island, the sales are really good too.
been wearing stone island for about 12 years but recently got in to CP company and now its my preferred brand
same here mate.
@I am the Best who wears diesel though? You must be old
Wearing cp because stoney got bought by Moncler big no
@@bykenny4378 did it really? I dint know that m8🤔
yeah I agree, also please cover some other underrated lesser-known brands such as ACG, ACRNM, Nike, Adidas, Gucci and Riot Division.
Always great to support small independent brands like Nike 🙏
@@ThisIsAntwon 😂😂😂
"slightly underground brand" - shit homie, that's all you had to say
Just purchased the Eco-Chrome R Hooded Down Jacket. Got it for 268 USD from AK Rikks. This retailed for much much more.. Really happy about my purchase. I might have to leave a product review! Thanks for all the insight Antwon.
Wasn't really familiar with this brand till I saw it yesterday and bought some workwear pants. Gloriously comfortable and they look great too.
As a person who wears Isaia, and numerous high end men’s clothing brands who also used to be a US based urban apparel buyer in my youth of pelle pelle lrg(when they first hit) etc I have a closet full of CP and love that it’s underground in the us and I’m on the trend before anyone else. I agree
Ugh, Ant, why you gotta make CP Company more sought after and harder to get on sale :(
This is supposed to be a (poorly kept) secret!
I Think this season CP Company is definitely killing it this season, going to wait for end of season sale for sure to pick up some times.
I like C.P. Company because it's reminiscent of the busier looks that kind of branded techwear in the beginning. Their staple details seem trued to the beginnings of techwear than brands that have since branched out or maybe just tried to underline their serious performance side with less-is-more aesthetics. As far as fidelity to the things that "made" techwear, I'd put their overall look up there with ACRONYM.
urban protection series from 00's, that was ahead
Good points mate, CP should definitely get more respect, and has it's own cool, and the fact it's SI's "mother" only adds to that in my opinion. I have looked at goggle jackets and beanies for a while in the past, from a more UK streetwear/roadman angle, but never came around to getting one. I did order a gabardine overshirt last year, which was really nice but the store sent met the wrong size, and the size I ordered was already sold out so that ended right there...your video does kind of make me want to look at their stuff again though. And I do have a soft spot for classics like the Mille. Cheers!
agree on the underrated nature next to stone island. the tracery stuff is so badass, wish the jackets weren't 1k 😭
Also, I find great prices on new CP Company gear from a British store called Terrace Threads. Highly recommend them, and I'm not even located in the UK.
C.P. Company seems like a great brand. Thank you for the video.
Back in the day when it was still all Massimo Osti, there was CP, Stone Island and Bonneville. Never did get the point of the goggle/watch lens though, other than an alternative to the SI badge. CP used to make some great shirts and knitwear, but I don’t have anything left from back then. I still do have some 30 year old SI pieces though.
Soft shell recolour in purple/burgandy is fire
Just ordered a cp t shirt and fleece hoody, both for 230 in sale, reduced from 330 so happy with that, awaiting delivery now... Got a stone island jumper which I bought in 07 and a polo...
just recently got into cp company this year after watching the eyes on Paris video. Needless to say, I picked up a goggle beanie and the goggles reversible sherpa parka.
Very nice pickups!
Goggles beanie 😂 so you look like a fly
I’m up to two jackets now. It’s killing my bank balance. Rumour has it that the Autumn Winter release is a collaboration with Barbour. Hopefully the rumours are true
@@stokedmate yes mate did you enter the draw to try and buy a one of 24 Barbour/CP super limited edition jackets? I did and I didn't even have the money 😂 I also see they have done a few collaborations celebrating the 50th anniversary, I managed to get a CP Company/One Block Down sling bag, but I really want a pair of these new CP x Spezial trainers. I'm in the draw but I'll likely not win... 😔
@@johna6602 I jumped the gun and bought a Stone Island 3L TC Membrana Dust Colour Coat 😂. Not too fussed about the Barbour release. The raffle ones were very nice. The spezial trainers are nice but I’m not fussed enough to pay £160 for them tbh
What was the name of the jacket displayed at 0:53? The white one with the handprint 🤔
Go walk streets in the UK and you'll see how "underrated" it is
Fun fact: most Italians don't know Stone Island Is an italian brand: on 50 strangers betweeen 17 and 24 years, only 13 knew It! (I have time to waste and i love to annoy strangers)
Hahaha no way, guess it's worn by Brits so much everyone assumes it's like Fred Perry or something
@@ThisIsAntwon brits be like: haha yea i got the drip
"the drip"
stone black puffer/vest
grey nike tracksuit
white af1
gucci waistbag
Does anyone know the name of the vest, nor sure if it's still on the site?
I like both brands and mix Them tbh, Got cargos from CP and I love Them! Shirt I Got a bunch of Stone so mixing that with a goose vest/jacket
Wot u think of the Fili 50 jackets bro
I'm getting older, seem to be learning more to c.p.
I have the cp company balaclava and it is amazing
thanks for this one Antwon. swear, i want the goggle balaclava. i'm a big cp company fan thanks to some awesome pickups i've just chanced upon.
The balaclava is super cool - they seem quite hard to find now so hope you're able to get one!
Highly recommend the goggle balaclava. There really is nothing quite like it, and the quality of the wool is top-notch. Good luck in your hunting!
Try Casual Basement for the goggle balaclava, they usually in stock if you don't mind the brighter colours. Now getting a black one... That's going to be a real task!
@@johna6602 thanks for the heads up! i ended up scoring one of the forest green ones a little while ago.
@@sclr no worries dude 👍
So I bought one of those vests for an absolute steal at £100, it looks great but I do wish it had more than 2 pockets. it ends up feeling a bit silly wearing it.
Some of cp stuff more exspensive than stone.. Good video
Unfortunately due to absolutely despising football hooliganism I’ve just blanked CP company in the past but I’m really glad to see it have a more diverse audience.
I’m looking at a few different jackets and will probably get a Kan D jacket soon
I remember there being a balaclava with goggles on the site a few months back, it’s a shame I didn’t get to pick one up when it was still there.
I copped one , so comfy and rare piece
@I am the Best lol stfu
Got a pair of cargos and the quality just radiates from the garment. Fit is amazing and I had a lot of compliments wearing it ☺️
btw stone island and cp where both founded by massimo osti
8:45 what is the name of this jacket???
What brand is your black t-shirt?
Had quite a few of both but prefer Stone Island normally, have a recent CP jumper and love it but find the fittings on sweater are more slightly awkward compared to SI
3:00 the hairs are alive!!!
I think I prefer CP over SI these days. Saying that my favorite piece out if the 2 is a SI pastel blue jacket
Love a bit of CP. Got the Nycra full length black puffer jacket a few weeks ago and it’s my favourite jacket so far.
SI has been ruined by the amount of fakes going about
Should've talked about some of the most classic pieces - The torch vest + the metropolis jackets. Good video though.
Met jacket 👌👌👍👍
Tinto Terra, Dynafil, Metal blends... these youngins don't know. Disappointed ant failed to mention the 90's transformable/inflatable, and infamous metropolis smog jacket (is antwon a millennial?)... CP was way ahead of stoney back in the day and still under the radar. "Urban Protection" gave birth to "street wear".
Wow I got an ad for one of those techwear dropship scumbag shops before the video
very nice brand however, its quite sad that if someone wears it in my town they would probably get mistaken for some football hooligan or wrongon same with stone island.
Not a single mention of the infamous Urban Protection S/S 1998 season? I'm mad
What’s the T shirt you’re wearing? Fit and drape looks amazing!
it’s the Acronym S24-DS from the SS21 release I think
@@tresended Correct!
Da GOGGLE hoodie
The only reason it's cheaper than stone island is because Drake hasn't been seen wearing it yet
Oh, but he has. Quite a bad look for drake to have C.P. logos on anything with his history with Mille Bobby Brown and Billie Eilish. Also, we don't need him hyping another brand we already wear - Drake makes things harder to get.
@@lunargorp I hope drake doesn’t wear CP Company!
@@stokedmate he does! Not as often as Stone Island, but he def wears CP Company sometimes.
@@lunargorp absolutely true in fact I know someone very close to me sold a huge huge collection to him from Chester Perry to cp company plus stone island !!
Drake has a unbelievable vintage collection
I own the basic google hoodie and the day I got it every person asked me to put the googles on lol
8:45 name of jacket?! 🔥
Love me some 50fili pants. Perfect in English weather. Not all that up on the Goggled stuff tho. They're ok on the beanie and big coats but on hoodies and shirts it's naff
very true words - very dappa :)
Eminem has started wearing cp company . So the American hype will start now .
What model vest is that?
TKs
Life vest gilet
Fully in the chester perry
Antwon please send me the name of that vest I really want it 😍
Big fan of both. A lot of the newer stuff is poor quality and silly prices though especially from stone island!
Like I read in one comment down here, CP is the mother of SI, I mean, Massimo invested a lot of years on researching and experimenting with the WW1 and WW2 antichemical gas-masks and Austrian military vests + dyeing techniques after this research he created Chester Perry, wich devoloped clothing until a few years later, when Chester Barry and Fred Perry took legal actions against CP for using they're both names, and then the name changed to CP Company.
All the big refferences of Massimo Osti and his team work, advancements, new synthetic clothing dyeing techniques, are in the Archivio of CP Company.
Stone Island was founded by him to realise a different kind of streetwear that was into another line and view of his work with CP and didn't gain a lot of popularity the first years. But then suddenly it turned into a worlwide known brand and fakes went out on the market people gone hyped...etc
So I think it's just a little bit of ignorance from the side of the people, if we look back CP Company has a lot more value if we speak about researching of new clothing devoloping techniques, and it was the main work of Massimo so... I love Stone Island but everyone can put a patch and use the style of nylon archivio multi-pocket jackets from cp and make it trendy while CP has a LOT of iconic and not known pieces
What about g-star raw brand?
Some good look stuff. Not too technical on the fabric a lot of the times. I own quite a few things
The flight cargos look sick in nato/green
Good European brand with great quality clothes
0:16 the guy in the middle is frodo lol same actor
Techwear for race car drivers? Take my money
Paul Harvey was a great addition to the brand
Very popular in the UK
Hey, what's up? This is Your wet weather announcer here.
new mic O_O
Let it be underrated otherwise you will have to sell your kidney to buy a c p jacket
cp company is so common in the UK are we living in the same country
rode shotgun mic drop. 🎤
fyi to new buyers -- if u think SI fits small -- wait until u try CP --
A lightweight CP jacket in a 56 (3XL) Chest is like a L Stone island.
New apartment tour please
cp company is harder to fake which means less chav appeal
I bought 3 jackets, they look great but only if you have an aesthetic body composition. If you are normal you should not buy C-P i think.
The quality is great but not for that price, and there wont be anything for you that stands out except for the texture of the high quality material and the aesthetic cut
0:15 it is Frodo, Elijah Wood. Its a scene from a movie Green Street Hooligans, but I guess u wrote that as a joke :D
Poor mans Greenstreet
Who says it underrated its great stuff.
Love this video I really like cp company much better than stone island
Thanks!
Cool
Vert interesting
That’s because it is the same guy who plays Frodo
stone island would never have happened had it not been for c.p company I've got 7 year old cp shell parka that still wear now
I love my cp just as good as stone island
I prefer stone island but I where my CP jacket for the sun
dont forget bonaville
Please keep on the low or becomes like stone island
Love stoney and cp company , I feel coming years cp company quality and designer is better than stoney !
CP much better than Stone Island my opinion..
I agree - for the reasons Ant listed and more
for those that know
I want to think you knew you took the picture of casuals from the movie green street hooligan... but I'm not 100%
It's cool but if you live in EAST London you might get shanked lol
CP company every day of the week.
They are similar because the creator of both is the same person
