For sale here is a pair of pants from the CP Company label. CP Company is a sister label of Stone Island, both founded by designer Massimo Osti. CP Company and Stone Island share some very similar DNA, particularly in fabric dyeing and experimentation. Stone Island tends to be the sportier, more youth-oriented line, while vintage CP Company is more refined and tends to target a more adult audience. That said, many of the silhouettes are very similar, the quality of both labels can be some of the best out there, and the designs and fabrics are always forward-thinking. Most CP Company pieces, even those going back 20 or 30 years, easily hold up today.
So what we have here is a pair of pants in a classic chino silhouette. Osti and CP Company have looked quite a bit to work, military and sportswear for inspiration, so it is not much of a surprise to see CP referencing classic casual wear. Still, while the reference is the chino, execution is still very unique to the CP Company sensibility.
Fabric here is a densely-woven 97% cotton, 3% elastane. It is a standard weight fabric ideal for year-round wear, maybe with the exception of the coldest months. Design is aiming for classic in this instance, where the fit is refined and avoids any extemporaneous details. These are the kinds of pants that you can wear with pretty much everything. Fit is straight and a bit slim, where the elastane is intended to give just a bit of a stretch to ensure maximum comfort.
Details include the waistband lined in a heavier khaki cotton canvas fabric. Pockets are done in a nicely contrasting and also heavier military green cotton. Also includes an additional pocket hidden into the interior of the waistband, a zip fly, and several tabs of fabric on the interior that you can use to hang the pants. CP Company design is always well planned and well executed using some of the best materials out there, and these pants are no exception. Get them here at a fraction of the retail price.
Size is labeled a 50 and fits like a standard 34. I measure the waist at 34”, inseam at 30”, rise at 10” and opening at the bottom of the leg at 7.5”. This is a straight leg fit, not too baggy or too slim. The pants come in lightly used, very good shape with no holes, tears or stains. Made in Italy.
