C.P. Company Size Guide
C.P. Company is regular fit, so take your normal size. That is the whole answer, and it holds across everything we carry from the house: the outerwear, the overshirts, the knitwear and the sweatshirts. Below you will find the EU to UK conversion, what the fabric names actually mean, and what to do if you are caught between two sizes.
Does C.P. Company Run Big or Small?
Neither. C.P. Company is true to size. Every product at Union 22 carries the Regular Fit indicator, so order the size you normally wear.
This catches people out, because C.P. Company is read as a streetwear label as often as an Italian one, and streetwear habits say size up. The brand does not cut that way. It is Italian sportswear built on a military pattern, and the pattern is drafted to fit rather than to swamp.
The one place this matters most is the outerwear. A padded jacket sized to your chest has the room for a knit underneath already built in, so going up a size gives you a coat that hangs away from the body. That reads wrong and it works worse, because down insulates by holding air against you rather than around you.
The Union 22 Fit System
Every product page at Union 22 carries one of three fit indicators. It is an instruction about sizing, not a description of the style:
C.P. Company Size Conversion: EU to UK
C.P. Company sizes on the Italian scale, where the number is roughly your half chest in centimetres. Every piece at Union 22 is listed with both, for example EU 50 / L UK, so you can order in whichever system you know.
| C.P. Company / EU | UK | Chest (inches) |
|---|---|---|
| EU 46 | S | 36-38" |
| EU 48 | M | 38-40" |
| EU 50 | L | 40-42" |
| EU 52 | XL | 42-44" |
| EU 54 | XXL | 44-46" |
Measure your chest under the arms across the fullest part, over a shirt rather than bare, since that is closer to how the garment will actually be worn. Keep the tape level and do not pull it tight.
The size run varies by piece. The overshirts run the full EU 46 to 54, while several of the knits and sweatshirts start at an EU 48. If the size you need is not in the selector, message us rather than guessing, and we will tell you whether we can get it.
Chrome-R, Nycra-R, DD-Shell: What the Names Mean
C.P. Company names its fabrics, and the names appear in the product titles. None of them changes what size to take, but they do tell you what you are buying.
What To Do If You Are Between C.P. Company Sizes
Take your normal size. C.P. Company grades in even sizes only, so there is nothing between an EU 50 and an EU 52 to fall into, and the regular fit means your usual size is the answer.
If your chest measurement lands on the boundary between two sizes, think about the piece rather than the number. On an overshirt, which is worn open over a tee or a knit, the larger of the two is the easier choice. On a padded jacket, take the smaller, for the reason above.
If you are genuinely unsure, message us before ordering. It takes a minute and it saves a return.
Still Not Sure? Ask Us.
Tell us your usual size and what you are looking at, and we will tell you what to order. Every message comes straight through to Dale or a member of the team personally. No bots, no automated replies.
We also offer free personal shopping sessions in store at Union House, Liverpool, where you can try a jacket over the knitwear you would actually wear with it.
About C.P. Company at Union 22
C.P. Company was founded by Massimo Osti and built its reputation on garment dyeing, technical fabric and a military-derived design language. It is one of the brands that made Italian sportswear what it is.
Our AW26 buy is outerwear-led: the Nycra-R long padded jacket and the DD-Shell hooded down jacket, the Chrome-R zipped overshirts in black and Orion blue, extrafine merino knitwear, and the diagonal fleece Lens sweatshirts. Every piece is listed with both EU and UK sizes and the fit stated on the page, so the sizing answer is there before you need this guide.
