CP Company Mille Miglia Ba-Tic Goggle Jacket - Black

CP Company Mille Miglia Ba-Tic Goggle Jacket in Black. Exemplary of CP Company's impeccable craftsmanship and eternal innovation, the Mille Miglia Jacket has become a trademark garment from the Italian brand. A staple in many sub-cultures, including the motorbiking and footballing scenes, the Goggle Jacket represents the best of CP Company, with its unique aesthetic and incomparable design finding favour with many.

With the brand's impressive ever-advancing range of technical fabrics on hand, it's clear to see why the designers at CP Company opted to update this icon with their incredible Ba-Tic fabric. The construction begins with an RFD (Ready For Dyeing) Waxed Broadcloth, which is sourced from Halley Stevensons in Dundee, Scotland, and acts as a resistor to the dye whilst also providing light weather protection. The resistance against the dye allows CP Company to over-dye the garment with an array of different colours, halting an intensity that would be aesthetically unfavourable, while providing a unique shade with character, here a shadow black.

The utilitarian aesthetic offered by using an urban black colouring, which can only be complimented by an array of visibly functional features that decorate the garment. It dons two large stowaway pockets that flank the body of the garment, while centrally a two-way YKK zipper offers up styling versatility, with a button down storm flap for elemental protection. A further two pockets are added to the chest of the piece, accompanied by a sturdy metal clip. Drawstrings and an array of press studs can be found on the jacket, offering the wearer a personalised fit, from the hem, waist, collar cuffs and more. 

To complete the classic Mille Miglia silhouette, a collar tops the garment, acting as a host fro a detachable hood, on which the brand's iconic goggles can be found. As a nostalgic final touch a small pocket is placed on the left wrist with the brand's original lens, this was initially used in motorcycle races that inspired the garments design, allowing racers to view their watch and log their time throughought the race.

A true piece of design history, and an icon within the CP Company archives, the Mille Miglia Goggle Jacket is a true must-have for any jacket conniseur.
