Barbour collaborates for the first time with the Italian CP Company

On sale exclusively at Barbour Jorge Juan, this new Barbour collaboration fuses Barbour's iconic '60s Solway jacket with the classic CP Company Mille.

The Italian CP Company, founded in 1971 by designer Massimo Osti, is very popular for its military-inspired clothing and the innovation of fabrics and techniques in very modern designs. CP Company is known for its unmistakable Mille jacket, "google jacket" or "glasses jacket". Designed in 1988, inspired by Massimo's Barbour Solway from 1960, the union of both today is the result of a fusion process giving rise to different styles and color combinations.

The collection consists of two waxed jackets, the Barbour Mille in olive and tan with three pockets and the also waxed Barbour 500 Miglia in olive and charcoal. All jackets are clearly military inspired and feature the CP Company's unique distinctive hood.

The collection is completed with an exclusive printed hooded fleece created especially to celebrate this special collaboration and a series of accessories such as beanies and designer backpacks available in olive, charcoal and tan colours.

Barbour continues to support a variety of charitable causes and all proceeds from this collaboration will go to the World Land Trust, an international conservation charity that protects the world's most biologically important and threatened habitats.

Ian Bergin, Director of the Barbour Men's Collection; "It was truly exciting to work alongside the talented team at CP Company on this special collection to celebrate the brand's 50th anniversary milestone. CP Company is renowned for its casual wear, technique and innovation, and practicality is at the heart of everything. we do at Barbour, so working on a design together was very natural.

Paul Harvey, Design Director of CP Company; "Working with Barbour was so simple and so special, both personally and professionally. I was born in Middlesbrough, in the north of England and in our first meeting we ended up talking about the same landscapes we grew up in. The pieces literally they designed themselves, there's a close link between Italian casual wear and what Barbour was doing at the time. Both parties automatically knew what the pieces would look like, creating a perfect symbiosis."
