- The release pays homage to founder Massimo Osti’s military and workwear DNA while utilizing cutting-edge manufacturing
C.P. Company and One Block Down are back with a Spring/Summer 2026 collaboration that is as philosophical as it is functional. Titled “The Archive Reinterpreted,” the new collection delves into the concept of inversion, playing with the contrasts between black and white, light and shadow, and the tension between archival memory and the present day. Rooted in the DNA established by founder Massimo Osti in 1971, this release pushes the boundaries of the brand’s military and workwear heritage through a stark, monochromatic lens.
The capsule focuses on texture and contrast. At the forefront is the D.D. Shell Jacket, a testament to the brand’s expertise in down-filled innovation. Arriving in three distinct colors, the jacket utilizes C.P. Company’s signature “Direct Down” injection process to ensure warmth without compromising the silhouette’s structural integrity. Complementing the outerwear is the Shearling Goggle Hat. This piece reinterprets the brand’s most iconic accessory—the Goggle hood—using rich, tactile shearling. The choice of material underscores the collection’s theme of “shirred” and textured surfaces, offering a rugged yet luxurious update to a sportswear staple.
Every piece in this collaboration honors the rigorous standards of C.P. Company. Known for complex, cutting-edge manufacturing techniques, the collection maintains the functional utility that has defined the brand for over 50 years while allowing One Block Down to inject a modern, curative narrative. The C.P. Company x One Block Down collection is available now the official C.P. Company and One Block Down online stores.
