Winter? C.P. Outerwear Hits Just As Hard in Spring/Summer
When it comes to a brand that demands excellence in its outerwear category, like C.P. Company, Fall/Winter tends to be the season that bares the sweetest fruits. While it's easy to wish away the seasons in wait of those cold weather hot hitters, Spring/Summer's offer is just as world-class.
I could write home about CP's winter outerwear all day. With bangers like the D.D. Down Shell Jacket, which has been a frequent wear within my current seasonal rotation, it's easy to think the brand's a one-season pony.
It's a trap too easy to fall into where outerwear brands are concerned – Moose Knuckles, Canada Goose, Stone Island, the lot – as they tend to pull out all the stops where function and fabrication are concerned in the latter parts of the year.
The art of stripping down an outerwear offering to better suit the needs of warm weather is one not easily finessed but one that CP has certainly mastered.
For SS23, this starts with the humble overshirt. A staple of the C.P. Company offering, overshirts have continually evolved season-to-season, resulting in the likes of the statement Chrome R Overshirt, Flatt Nylon Zipped Shirt, Taylon L Overshirt, and masterful Co-Ted Overshirt.
While all serve the same purpose, each possesses a distinct style, fabrication, and palette to add fire to any rotation.
For those seeking a little more function, the classic Shell-R Goggle Jacket has been adapted to several styles, including a vest, while the Pro-Tek is given a lightweight treatment to fend off seasonal showers.
CP's commitment to evolving classic pieces while offering their basal forms in a range of colors alongside a palatable range of newcomers, is what makes SS23 such a desirable collection.
Available online now, a quick browse of SS23 will be all the proof you need that C.P. Company hits just as hard in Spring/Summer as it does Fall/Winter.
