C.P Company and Clarks are two brands steeped in European heritage, both are equally respected amongst the football hooligans and connoisseurs of fine, Italian craftsmanship. They’re firms that choose their partners carefully - a choice which has resulted here, in a capsule collection that explores the ever-narrowing gap between the hustle and bustle of city life, and the quieter, calmer surroundings that nature provides.
The Desert Trek boot appears in two styles, one with rubber panels on the uppers, and the second boasting a tough Vibram sole. The shoes’ colourway matches the jackets on offer; with the smock having similar black detailing on the arms, set against a sand coloured, waxy-looking fabric that will no doubt see you through the harshest of conditions. (Terrier not included).
The second jacket comes in black, sporting C.P’s famed goggle-hood, which was originally inspired by the protective hoods and anti-gas masks used by the army and the functionality of the Swiss field jacket, the goggles retain the classic ‘street-soldier’ aesthetic that C.P Company has taken ownership of since their inception back in 1975.
It’s certainly a collection that would make the late, great Massimo Osti proud - look for the drop on Clarks and C.P Company’s websites on March 17th.
