Product in Focus: CP Company Nylon Cristal Overshirt | March 2018

This week’s product in focus is the unique, Nylon Cristal Overshirt from C.P. Company. Meticulously crafted from an ultralight monofilament nylon called Cristal, this lightweight overshirt will no doubt make a standout addition to your wardrobe. Read on to find out more about this unique and eye-catching overshirt at EQVVS today.

The humble overshirt is a modern wardrobe essential for the fashion forward man. A versatile piece, the overshirt can easily be dressed up or down and is a piece of clothing that is able to compliment most – if not all - looks, from casual to dressy to alternative. Overshirts are also the ideal transeasonal piece of clothing, as they can be layered during autumn and winter months but can also be worn during warmer months if you perhaps get a little chilly.

This is where the Nylon Cristal Overshirt comes in. This garment might be lightweight, but it will certainly deliver when it comes to keeping you warm during the autumn and cool during the summer. With a full zip fastening and a popper cover for a sleek and clean finish, this overshirt can be styled in a number of ways, easily making it a piece you’d visit time and time again.

A stud fastened pocket sits neatly on the chest of the garment, which lends a utilitarian touch to this military-inspired jacket. Featuring an ultralight monofilament nylon, this overshirt has also been garment dyed to achieve a deep royal hue; a process that has remained integral at C.P. Company since it was first established by Massimo Osti in 1975.

Instead of pre-colouring raw materials or buying pre-coloured textiles to be assembled during the final stage, C.P. Company performs the garment dyeing process after all the pieces have been cut and sewn together to not only create a more visceral and more intense colour, but to also give it a more worn-in-look: this process is what makes garments from C.P. Company so distinctive.

A special prismatic polyurethane film protects the outer face of the fabric, making it wind and water resistant. This functional finishing also serves a highly aesthetic purpose, as the prismatic film lends the fabric a super shiny look, creating a three-dimensional chromatic effect that definitely won’t go unnoticed.

Finished with a zip pocket to the left sleeve boasting the Italian label’s iconic lens, this overshirt is not only unique but is a piece of outerwear that seamlessly combines style, comfort and functionality – what else could you ask for from technical wear specialists, C.P. Company?
