1970s | European Sportswear | Zip-Up Track Jacket | Blue – L

Description:

Item: European zip-up track jacket in soft sky blue, featuring a full-length front zip and ribbed collar, cuffs and hem with red and yellow stripe detailing. Finished with black flocked lettering to the back reading “RSV Windschläg,” indicating original club or team use. Cut in a relaxed, period-correct sportswear silhouette with a heavier, structured knit typical of 1970s track jackets.

Era: 1970s

Brand: Unbranded / European sportswear

Condition: Very good vintage condition with light, honest wear consistent with age. Flocking remains clear and intact, ribbing is strong, and the fabric retains good colour and shape throughout.

Provenance note: A genuine piece of 1970s European team-issued sportswear, likely produced for a local athletics or cycling club. Track jackets like this were made to be worn hard and regularly, which is why surviving examples with original lettering are increasingly scarce. The appeal lies in its authenticity, combining bold period colour with real sporting history rather than modern reproduction.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a story, and we cannot guarantee any item will be totally free of marks / damage but anything we think of note will be mentioned. Furthermore, a lot of vintage items gain character because of wear and tear. Buying a true vintage item is not the same as buying new and is not to be confused with second-hand clothing.

We have also tried to accurately depict each garment using a photography setup with over 90% true to life accuracy. 

We do not take photos of inside the garment.

Sizing Notes:

Please take the time to measure up yourself and match to the measurements noted, the way you want the item to fit. We are only a micro business and unable to cover the costs of returns.
