Designed for the Road
Designed by Massimo Osti in 1988, the C.P. Company Mille Miglia jacket was created with long-distance driving in mind. Inspired by Italy’s historic 1000 Miglia road race, the jacket placed function above appearance at a time when performance garments rarely crossed into everyday wear.
Every Detail Had a Purpose
The Mille Miglia was built around utility. The goggle hood improved visibility in harsh conditions, while the watch window allowed drivers to check the time without exposing their wrist. Multiple pockets supported life on the move, and weather-resistant fabrics offered protection over long journeys. Nothing was added without reason.
From Motorsport to Football Culture
Its practicality soon pushed it beyond the world of driving. Football fans adopted the Mille Miglia for travel, anonymity, and durability, valuing its low-key design and technical credibility. What began as specialist equipment quietly became one of C.P. Company’s most recognisable silhouettes.
Why It Still Matters
Today, the goggles are no longer just functional - they’re iconic. The Mille Miglia never chased trends or seasonal relevance. It earned its place through endurance, purpose, and a design language that still feels modern decades later.
Would you wear a jacket built for endurance rather than fashion cycles? The Mille Miglia didn’t follow style - it defined its own.
