Its a shame all the chavs got on these jackets and every market from Brixton to wellsbourne where selling cheap Imitations for about £15.
Football thugs eat your heart out !
Fully agree anon seems to be the way of the world.
Anything good can never stay pure.
To be honest with the exception of the new race Mille the quality has declined massively. Have 1 mille left and it's from 1996 in apple green. made in italy (not romania) with lampo zips and a watchviewer that won't come off, unlike the newer designs.
Just out of interest a while back there was a dire piece on here about football casualism, how come CP didn't get a mention but ben sherman did? Seemed pretty bizarre.
Haha i gotta hold my hands up to that casual post. And i understand why people may have thought it was waste but what i tried to do was keep it short and relevant to what people were wearing at the time of the post. I didnt wanna come across patronising and go on about brands i didnt think people knew about. The only way i can gauge what our readers are into is from their comments and going on the majority of them they dont strike me as C.P wearing dudes (dont take that out of context).
The topic of 'Casualism' is huge and to try and cover it all in one post is impossible.
Hope this doesnt offend anyone.
who is Aitor Thoroup????
translating ollie's last post..
"the only thing i know about c.p company is that i read about it in casuals and saw this jacket posted on seenmy's blog weeks ago"
