Company Stretch Piqué Polo White Black - Signature Removable Lens Badge\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C.P. Company stretch piqué polo represents the sophisticated Italian casual-chic elegance signature of the Massimo Osti house: premium stretch piqué cotton composition (95% cotton + 5% elastane), 220g\/m² weight, breathable honeycomb texture, and optimal stretch for freedom of movement. Features the iconic removable lens badge with snap buttons on the left sleeve—a recognizable C.P. Company signature of British casual culture—and a ribbed polo collar with 2 high-quality mother-of-pearl buttons resistant to deformation. Impeccable double-stitched finishes with European manufacturing quality (Portugal) and a modern, slightly fitted, flattering, and elegant Regular Fit. Essential colors: timeless, versatile, and sophisticated White (103) and Black (999) for the men's wardrobe rotation. Available in men's sizes S-XXL in standard Italian sizing; authentic reference RCCMPL721A005263W with full traceability of origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect for sophisticated urban casual-chic in spring\/summer (18-30°C), modern preppy weekend outfits, brunch, country clubs, business casual for tech-forward office Fridays, or mid-season layering in autumn under a cardigan\/unstructured blazer. Ideal for golf, tennis, or sports clubs due to stretch comfort and ease of movement. European C.P. Company manufacturing quality ensures 8-12 years of durability with regular use and proper care—a premium Italian signature investment versus temporary fast-fashion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eC.P. Company Stretch Piqué - Comfort, Movement, Innovation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical premium stretch piqué composition\u003c\/strong\u003e: 95% premium combed cotton with selected long fibers for superior quality + 5% elastane (Lycra\/Spandex) for 4-way vertical and horizontal stretch. 220g\/m² weight offers thick structure and excellent opacity compared to basic 180-200g fabrics. Piqué weave provides a honeycomb relief texture for optimal breathability and moisture-wicking. Soft touch against the skin ensures premium comfort for prolonged wear, with exceptional resistance to pilling, wear, and deformation over 100+ washes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenefits of stretch vs. classic rigid piqué\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003eTotal freedom of movement: 5% elastane provides elasticity that follows the body's natural gestures (lifting arms, shoulder rotation, torso flexion) without the stiffness of 100% rigid cotton piqué. Immediate elastic recovery ensures the fabric retains its shape without permanent creases or wrinkles. Allows for a modern, comfortable, close-to-body tailored fit without binding, whereas rigid fabrics require a looser cut to avoid tightness in the shoulders\/chest. Crease-resistant for travel: stretch fabrics wrinkle significantly less, and their natural elasticity smooths out creases. Foldable and compact for travel bags, they regain their shape immediately upon unpacking. Durability and shape retention: elastane maintains the shape of the collar, cuffs, and waist, preventing the sagging or curling often seen in rigid fabrics after repeated washings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePiqué texture for optimal breathability\u003c\/strong\u003e: the honeycombed, raised piqué weave creates an airy structure allowing for optimal air circulation between the skin and fabric, offering excellent breathability compared to smooth jersey, which clings to the skin and suffocates. Rapid and effective moisture wicking provides comfort in summer heat (25-35°C), unlike jersey which retains dampness. Fast drying after washing (4-6 hours) compared to dense jersey (8-12 hours), with a sophisticated, elegant, and preppy raised texture aesthetics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eC.P.

Company lens badge is inspired by military aviator goggles and the signature Goggle hood invented by Massimo Osti. Positioned on the left biceps, it is a visible, recognizable mark of casual streetwear culture. Premium quality embroidery with thick, resistant threads and precise, defined colors (white lens on black, black on white depending on polo color). Exclusive C.P. Company patented snap button system with 2 studs ensures perfect alignment, facilitating easy removal and repositioning. Badge diameter 6-7cm, standard size for recognition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile styling of the removable badge\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003eWith badge: an assertive C.P. Company statement, recognizable in British casual and 1990s terrace football culture; a visible, proudly worn casual sportswear signature.\u003cbr\u003eWithout badge: sober, discreet, elegant, and timelessly preppy. Suitable for conservative business-casual offices where visible logos may be inappropriate, or for sophisticated casual-chic occasions like country club golf or tennis with understated elegance.\u003cbr\u003eMaintenance during washing: removing the badge before machine washing protects the embroidery and delicate threads from drum friction, extending the badge's lifespan, and prevents snagging or tearing on other clothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePremium Quality Polo Collar - 2 Mother-of-Pearl Buttons\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStretch ribbed collar\u003c\/strong\u003e: reinforced, double-layered ribbed collar resistant to deformation after repeated washing, maintaining an impeccable shape for years. Integrated elastane provides elastic hold so the collar remains adjusted without curling or sagging, unlike rigid collars that lose their shape. Standard 7cm collar height provides comfort, protecting the neck without restricting head movement or rotation. Can be worn popped up for sun protection or a preppy tennis look, or folded down for urban casual-chic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eButton placket with 2 high-quality mother-of-pearl buttons\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 premium mother-of-pearl buttons in natural white (for white polo) or black (for black polo) for a subtle, elegant, ton-sur-ton finish. Securely sewn with reinforced triple-stitch thread to resist tension. Impeccable, precise manual buttonhole finishing. 12cm placket length is the standard 2-button configuration for optimal classic elegance compared to 3-button sportswear or 4-button rugby styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEssential Colors: White (103) \u0026amp; Black (999)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhite (103) elegant sophisticated preppy\u003c\/strong\u003e: a warm, natural off-white ecru rather than a cold, clinical stark white (001). Fresh, luminous, and optimistic for spring-summer heat (25-35°C) with maximum breathability; reflects the sun. Elegant, preppy, sophisticated casual-chic for traditional country club, golf, or tennis. Versatile pairings with beige\/navy\/khaki chinos, white\/beige bermudas, or colored shorts. Black lens badge on white provides a visible, graphic, elegant statement. Care note: requires vigilance regarding whiteness; immediate spot cleaning for collar\/underarm perspiration stains; frequent washing required compared to black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlack (999) modern minimalist urban\u003c\/strong\u003e: an absolute, deep, intense black; timeless, universal, and versatile, pairing with everything. Modern, minimalist, discreet, sober, and elegant. Hides perspiration stains and dust better than white, making it practical for daily use. Visually slimming and flattering for all body types, ensuring elegance. Perfect for autumn-winter layering under colored cardigans\/blazers\/jackets for an elegant contrast. White lens badge on black is subtle, minimalist, and ton-sur-ton compared to the contrasted look. Practical maintenance: requires fewer washes than white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChoosing between C.P.

Take your usual European clothing size for a generally perfect, comfortable fit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSlim\/normal build\u003c\/strong\u003e: take your usual size for the exact, optimal, modern, flattering, and elegant tailored fit as the stretch follows the body perfectly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBroad\/athletic build\u003c\/strong\u003e: your usual size is generally sufficient as the stretch compensates for shoulder\/chest width comfortably.

Company Stretch Piqué Polo Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMANDATORY: remove lens badge before washing\u003c\/strong\u003e: detach the badge via snap buttons systematically before every wash to protect the embroidery and preserve its lifespan. Store the badge separately in a collection box; reposition only after the polo is completely clean and dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e30°C delicate machine wash\u003c\/strong\u003e: use a delicate\/synthetic cycle (do not use 40°C cotton, which progressively destroys elastane). Cold water preserves stretch elasticity and colors (white\/black). Turn the polo inside out to protect the badge (if forgotten) and the face of the fabric. Wash with similar colors (whites\/lights separately, darks\/blacks together). Close the collar buttons to protect buttonholes and prevent placket deformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNO fabric softener: CRITICAL for stretch\u003c\/strong\u003e: fabric softener destroys elastane fibers, causing them to lose elasticity and become permanently limp, baggy, and deformed. It also alters the breathability of the piqué texture by clogging it with chemical residues. A standard pH-neutral liquid detergent is more than sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAir dry on a hanger recommended\u003c\/strong\u003e: hang on a thick, wide hanger to avoid shoulder deformation from damp weight. Stretch piqué handles hanging well compared to soft jersey, which deforms. Strictly avoid tumble drying; it destroys elastane (-30% elasticity in the first cycle) and causes shrinkage (-5%). Dry in a ventilated area away from direct sunlight (UV light yellows white and grays out black). Natural drying takes 8-12h for thick 220g piqué vs 6h for 180g jersey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptional medium-temperature steam ironing\u003c\/strong\u003e: stretch piqué naturally wrinkles very little as elasticity smooths out creases. If necessary, iron on the reverse side at 150°C; never directly on the elastane (it melts \u0026gt;160°C irreversibly). Never iron over a forgotten lens badge, as it would destroy the embroidery. A vertical garment steamer is a gentle, fast, and effective alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eC.P.

Company Stretch Piqué Polo\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs stretch really comfortable? Is the difference noticeable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, the difference is significant and noticeable: 5% elastane follows natural movements of the arms, shoulders, and torso for total freedom, unlike rigid fabrics that restrict movement. Immediate elastic recovery resumes shape versus rigid fabrics that hold creases. A tailored, comfortable fit is possible without the binding feel of rigid alternatives. The stretch justifies the +20-30€ premium for daily comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the lens badge really removable and easy to take off?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, it is very easy thanks to the patented C.P. Company 2-snap system: a gentle press detaches the badge instantly in 2 seconds; repositioning is just as simple, with snaps clicking into place for automatic perfect alignment. No cheap, fast-wearing velcro here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the C.P. Company polo size like Ralph Lauren?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, C.P. Company's Italian sizing is slightly fitted compared to Ralph Lauren's looser American fit. If you are a comfortable M in Ralph Lauren Custom Slim, an M in C.P. Company will be similar. If you wear the loose Ralph Lauren Classic Fit, an L in C.P. Company will be an equivalent tailored fit. C.P. Company stretch also tolerates body variations better than rigid Ralph Lauren fabrics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the white transparent or sufficiently opaque?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOpaque. The 220g\/m² weight is excellent and prevents total transparency; nipples\/areolas are invisible, unlike basic 180-200g transparent fabrics. C.P. Company white piqué is premium quality with guaranteed opacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes elastane lose its stretch over time?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot if maintained properly: 30°C delicate washes without fabric softener and never tumble drying preserves the elastane for 8-10 years, retaining 85-90% of its original elasticity over 100+ washes. If mistreated (40°C + softener + tumble dryer), elastane is destroyed within 2-3 years, losing 50% elasticity and becoming limp.
