Franco Bruccoleri’s 1988 Race Mille Miglia
The ‘88 race mille is a jacket that I have long been looking to add to my collection, and the recent addition of this one to my collection was made all the more special when I learned the history of this particular jacket and its previous owner. Click below to read more.
Closer look at the Stone Island white badge Ventile Parka.
Just added one of the white badge Ventile parka’s to the collection. Really pleased with the piece but a bit of a mystery with the Ventile tag on this one. For some reason is has a Stone Island Denims on it??? Click below for more pics.
Stone Island Golf Bag
Another interesting vintage Stone Island piece for the collection. Remember OB posting a pic of one a long while back so been on the look out for one of these for a while now. Still looking for the rubber pad tennis bag. Click below to see more pics.

Stone Island Skiis 44SKI4315
While not as sought after as some of the more iconic Stone Island jackets, the Stone Island skiis have been at the top of my most wanted list. After a month of waiting, was finally able to pick them up from Italy last week. Click below for more pics.
Stone Island Flannels 30th Anniversary Reflective Jacket No. 20

C.P. Company + Baruffaldi Sunglasses SS’04
Not sure where it’d be appropriate to wear except on the top of a glacier, but thought the C.P. Company + Baruffaldi sunglasses were an interesting pick up. The sunglasses on the new Mille Shield are also another CP +Baruffaldi collaboration. Pics below.
C.P. Company HPC Mille Miglia
Quite surprised when I heard that the HPC milles were cancelled. While nothing really special about the design, the return of a fully waterproof mille was a welcome change from the cookie cutter milles that have been released lately. Missed the first one that was being offered up for sale, so jumped when another one of these HPC milles popped up. Check out more pics below.
C.P. Transformable Waistcoat-To-Rucksack
The C.P. Company transformables were the first pieces that really made me look at buying garments not just as things to wear, but as art. And really sparked my interest in to finding the older jackets I never was able to purchase when I was younger. After six months of trying to find the perfect swap, was finally able to wrangle one of these away from idp. And now that I have it, this is one that will never leave my collection.

A Closer Look at the Stone Island NOC-1
Post updated. I was overjoyed when receiving my NOC-1 only to find that the jacket was from the same season, but not the original jacket issued with the piece. So this post is now bitter sweet, since I now own only 1/2 of my one of my favorite jackets. But my search for a complete and original NOC-1 will continue. Click below to read more.
FGF Urban Protection Mille
Been searching for the FGF Urban Protection pieces for a while and finally able to add one to my collection. Getting used to seeing an UP badge on a mille definately takes some getting used to, but the unusual design makes this a definite pick up for any collection. Click below to take a closer look.
C.P. Company 1989 Race Collection
After 3 weeks of waiting Santa has finally arrived direct from his detour in Italy! Sure he arrived two days late and there was an ‘88 piece included but this will always be remembered as the ‘89 xmas for me. Included in the pick up were two ‘89 race milles, a ‘89 race gillet, a ‘89 race bag, and to top it off an ‘88 race shirt. Click below to see full pics. Enjoy!
