Mackintosh and C.P. Company Launch Capsule Merging Rubberized Trench and Goggle Jacket

Mackintosh and C.P. Company have produced their first collaborative capsule, pairing Mackintosh’s gum‑pulled, bonded rubberized cotton with C.P. Company’s signature goggle hood to rework two emblematic silhouettes. The drop, set for February 26, 2026, will be sold on both brands’ webstores and at select stores including the Mackintosh London flagship, C.P. Company flagships in Milan, London, Paris, Seoul, Tokyo and Shanghai, and Dover Street Market Ginza. Vince Hashimoto, Mackintosh’s CEO, noted a “natural synergy” between the two houses.

The capsule centers on a rethought Mackintosh single-breasted coat and a C.P. Company Goggle Jacket. Hypebeast described the Mackintosh trench as “updated with a detachable goggle hood – a hallmark of C.P. Company – creating a sleek, waterproof silhouette with a distinct urban edge.” Conversely, C.P. Company’s Goggle Jacket has been “completely re-engineered using Mackintosh’s stiff, structured rubberized cotton,” producing a tactile counterpoint between British tailoring lines and utilitarian sportswear proportions.

Material and make are the collection’s technical story. FashionNetwork explains the fabric technology as two layers of cotton wrapped around a thin core of rubber to create a fully waterproof material; each garment is “individually cut and sealed by the same skilled maker using a rubber-based solution, with each seam taped and reinforced by hand.” All sources state the pieces are made or handmade in Scotland using Mackintosh’s patented bonded construction, so the goggle hood and military-inspired pockets sit on cloth that is sealed, taped and hand-finished by Scottish artisans.

The collaboration reads as a collision of histories. Mackintosh dates to 1823 and the chemist Charles Macintosh’s bonded rubber technique that predated Thomas Burberry’s 1879 trench; its coats served the British Army in both world wars and police forces thereafter. C.P. Company, founded in 1971, brought the goggle hood into its vocabulary after sponsoring the Mille Miglia in 1988 and making goggles an icon of streetwear and terrace culture; Elite Traveler also notes C.P. Company’s partnership with Manchester City as part of its contemporary reach.

Retail strategy and provenance are explicit: launch on February 26 across brand webstores and at the enumerated flagships and Dover Street Market Ginza, with production rooted in Scotland’s Mackintosh ateliers. Selectabisso framed the effort as more than a capsule, calling it “a lasting creative dialogue” that “could well redefine the codes of the contemporary technical coat.” When it lands in late February, the collection will test whether rubberized, hand-sealed Mackintosh cloth can reset the vocabulary of goggle-hooded utility for a global market.
