Ten C Brand Guide

The History of the Ten C brand

The end of the 2000s saw CP Company designer Alessandro Pungetti and Stone Island’s Paul Harvey join forces and the Ten C brand was then born into the world of sportswear apparel. Harvey and Pungetti exclusively design Ten-C in Italy, the home of both CP Company and Stone Island. Both designers adhere their designs down the same road as Stone Island and CP, focusing on their ‘forever collection.’ This includes one fabric, four colours, seven jackets, forever.

Uniquely, garments in the Ten C brand are not labelled, for the purpose to be loved for exactly what they are; high-quality jackets crafted from premium quality fabrics. These pieces are ensured to last the wearer forever, sporting both classic and iconic features which are designed to age with you only. Ten C do believe that by applying true and qualitative craftsmanship to each garment, this helps the environment due to the elimination of waste. This means that not only are you sporting a timeless jacket, but also doing your bit to help the environment. Best of both worlds? We think so.

With Ten-C not branding their garments, instead, they add the most gratifying technique any brand could give to a buyer. This is the numbering of the jacket and stamp which is done completely by hand when the garment is manufactured. Another thing which the Ten C brand do to make sure you get the most out of your jacket is to provide different ‘liners.’ The liner is based on the standard 1950’s American liners, crafted especially to be worn in colder climates. The same Liner fits all models of jackets.

Here at Aphrodite we have received two liners in two different colour-ways. Beige and Black are two liners which can be used with any of the jackets to create a totally different look. This is an ideal investment piece if you are planning on making your Ten-C jacket a life-long companion, by mixing it up with different colours. One of the two jackets we have received this season is the Tempest Anorak. A waterproof lightweight jacket which will mould itself to fit only you over time. The Anorak can be worn with liners and is also made from the same knitted nylon and micro-fibre mix, making it both durable and long-lasting against the elements. The original anorak was made from seal skins or caribou in the early days, but from the 1950’s it was re-created in a range of different lightweight materials.

The second jacket we are stocking is the Sniper Combo Down Jacket. Other than just having an incredibly cool name, this piece offers ultimate protection from the elements. The Sniper combo Down Jacket offers incredible protection from the elements with its Original japanese Jersey exterior, an advanced material that offers wind and waterproof qualities while maintaining an organic look and natural feel. Filled to the brim with a warming down to keep the chill at bay, and featuring a technical hood design that offers further elemental protection thanks to its visor and two layer closure, you can be sure that this is a garment you can rely on in any weather. As always the Sniper Combo Down Jacket is finished with minimal branding and is numbered and stamped to the interior to guarantee authenticity.
