1970s / 1980s | Sergio Tacchini | Navy Tennis Shorts - w28

Description:

Item: 1970s to 1980s tennis shorts by Sergio Tacchini. Navy throughout with the Sergio Tacchini logo embroidered in white on the left leg. Elasticated waistband with a drawstring and eyelet fastening, side seam pockets, and a short, close-cut sporting silhouette. Clean, minimal and well-made.

Era: 1970s / 1980s

Brand: Sergio Tacchini

Condition: Very good vintage condition, with light wear consistent with age and use.

Provenance Note: Sergio Tacchini was founded in 1966 by the Italian tennis player of the same name, and the brand became one of the defining names in European court sportswear through the 1970s and into the 1980s, worn by top players and absorbed into the wider casualwear culture of the period. These shorts are a straightforward expression of the label's approach: technically functional, cleanly cut, with the branding carried lightly through the embroidered logo rather than splashed across the garment. The short cut and elasticated waist are true to the period's sporting silhouette.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a history, and minor signs of age, wear, or character should be expected. Any notable marks, damage, or repairs will always be clearly mentioned. This natural wear is part of what gives genuine vintage its individuality and authenticity. True vintage should not be confused with modern second-hand clothing

We photograph all garments using a professional, studio-grade imaging system designed to show colour, texture, and shape as accurately as possible. This setup was built specifically to give a true representation of each piece and avoid misleading presentation; however, we do not take photos of inside the garment. While we take great care in inspecting every piece, with true vintage it is always possible that a minor detail may be missed.

Sizing Notes:

Please compare these measurements to a similar item you already own, laid flat (rather than measuring your body). Start with the bust measurement, then check length. Vintage sizing runs small and cuts vary significantly from modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on bust measurements using the following sizing scale:

UK 6 (30–31")

UK 8 (32–33")

UK 10 (34–35")

UK 12 (36–37")

UK 14 (38–39")

UK 16 (40–41")

UK 18 (42–43")

UK 20 (44–45")

For jackets, knitwear, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down to allow for structure, lining, and bulk.

Buying true vintage clothing:

When buying true vintage clothing, you are buying a piece of clothing as an investment. We believe most of our true vintage items will hold or increase in value in years to come. We hope you will cherish your purchase.

For UK orders, you have 14 days from delivery to exercise your right to return, and a further 14 days to send the item back. For Europe and International orders, returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery.
