Download ![Anna Gobbo - Massimo Osti late 1970s reversible urban down jacket
few words from Anna Gobbo on his collaboration with Massimo Osti :
«We produced cotton knitwear under the Anna Sport brand. I’d seen some Chomp Chomp [Osti first line] T-shirts and I’d been really impressed. I absolutely wanted to ask Massimo Osti to design some graphics for my collection too. He agreed and, first of all, decided to change the name to Anna Gobbo. This successful first collaboration soon led to a second.
In 1970, we founded OM Diffusion together to produce the Chester Perry menswear line.
When Massimo started designing the first Chester Perry garments, he had absolutely no basic knowledge. I had five years of pattern-making training behind me and taught him the basics of the trade. We worked together all day, I was his teacher.
It was impossible to argue with him, but he often dug his heels in: he was always experimenting, wanting to try things that no one had ever attempted before. Once he tried sewing a nautical rope into the hem of a jumper, but it made the garment too stiff and prevented him from moving his arms. It took a month of research to convince him that finding a solution was impossible.
Massimo had learnt the technical skills from us, but when it came to the cut, shape and drape of his garments, he always had his own very precise ideas. He didn’t adhere to the conventions, he didn’t like perfect garments with even hems, nor impeccable shapes. He wanted deconstructed jackets with a shorter back. Even military garments, in his view, were too rigid and precise, so he would alter them. His attention was entirely focused on the old, worn-out garments, which had « character. » He worked and experimented until he managed to reproduce that aged look, worn down by twenty years of use. »
The Urban Down Jacket appears in 1975 and is produced til 1980. The most famous remains the leather version with New York skyline printed inside.
This version features a pilot printed on a faux-suede side.
Staying in my collection for the moment.

Small story about how Massimo Osti started his career doing printed tees :
In the late 60s, he opened a graphic design studio with some friends, after a few years working as a salesman at Pirelli. Back in the days, printed t-shirts did not really exist as part of the Italian wardrobe other than those used by factory workers which simply had the company name printed on them. One day they have an idea, advertise touristics areas by printing illustrations on tees.
They had enough success to decide, in May of 1970, to found a new company to produce Massimo’s first collection of 30 t-shirts, called « Chomp Chomp… »
In 1969, on the request of the company Anna Sport from Crevalcore (Bologna), he designs the graphics for long-sleeved jersey t-shirts, at the same time he also redesigns the brand’s logo, rechristening it « Anna Gobbo », the name of the company’s owner and designer.
He produces a series of pop graphics for the label and they have an immediate and extraordinary success; more than 30 000 of the t-shirts are sold.
Massimo continues working in this way for two years, sending his drawings to his clients without barely ever meeting them until when, in 1970, Raimondo Cattabriga, Anna Gobbo co-owner, comes and suggests to him that they together found a new company to design men’s t-shirts. Massimo accepts. And this is how the Chester Perry brand is born.
These tees are from the 1979/80 collection, for one of the first collection of CP Company. That’s one of the last collection of Osti with printed graphic on garments, replaced after by what we know the most, Stone Island etc..
These tees are not for sale, the surf tee is courtesy of @x_243_x

Download ![CP Company Mille Miglia 1988 🏁🏎️
Plain and Race.
Nicknamed « Mille Miglia » after the vintage car race it once sponsored, the cult jacket has been produced continuously, in endless variations, since 1988.
After studying a protective hood worn by the Japanese Civil Defence, Massimo grows excited about the idea of making a jacket with lenses sewn into the fabric. The problem of preserving the fabric’s integrity around the perimeter of the glass lenses is resolved thanks to a frame created especially by the Italian company Baruffaldi, a world leader in the sports optics field. The first prototype, which features lenses sewn into an extended collar, like the hood which originally inspires Massimo, is produced in very limited quantities in S/S 1988 in Mais cotton.
Following further research into protective hoods used by the army, Massimo creates several prototypes over the course of 1987. Anti-gas goods, a new inspiration, give him the idea of moving the lenses from the collar to the hood itself.
The forms of this new version of the goggle jacket adopt the multifunctionality of the Swiss field jackets whose intelligent pockets can perform numerous tasks.
Another lens is added to the sleeve to allow the wearer to see his watch.
This is the version which Massimo uses to sponsor the 1988 edition of the Mille Miglia car race because it best corresponds with his vision of the perfect jacket to wear on any adventure. It protects the wearer from rain and mud and its system of pockets allows him to carry a full range of necessities, from identification papers, to a canteen and knife, to victuals and maps.
The version of the Goggle Jacket used in the Mille Miglia race is beige and features the race logo printed in red on the pocket flap.
When C.P. Company agrees to sponsor the race Massimo realises that this garment seems as though it has been designed specifically for the legendary antique car race and he offers it to organisers and participants and it is from this version that the jacket model takes its unofficial nickname. Functional, timeless and aesthetically bold this jacket has become a symbol of Massimo Osti’s creativity.
