Full zip front, zipped hand pockets, and a straight, boxy athletic cut that sits cleanly on the body. Classic European sports styling with bold colour blocking and a confident silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"459\" data-end=\"870\"\u003eConstructed from period polyester, which is fundamentally different from modern fast-fashion polyester. In the 1970s polyester was developed as a premium technical fabric, chosen for its durability, colour stability and ability to hold structure over decades. It was engineered to perform and last, not to be disposable, which is exactly why jackets like this still feel substantial and present so well today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"872\" data-end=\"890\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"872\" data-end=\"880\"\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"880\" data-end=\"883\"\u003e1970s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"892\" data-end=\"912\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"892\" data-end=\"902\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"902\" data-end=\"905\"\u003eRomeo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"914\" data-end=\"1127\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"914\" data-end=\"928\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"928\" data-end=\"931\"\u003eVery good vintage condition.

The bold colour blocking, wide collar and durable early polyester construction place it firmly in the golden era of athletic clothing. Pieces like this capture the moment when sportswear was functional, expressive and built to last, long before performance clothing became disposable or over-engineered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSize on garment: N\/A\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur modern sizing estimate: M                                                                                                        \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShoulder to shoulder: 27\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePit to pit: 21\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInner sleeve to cuff: 19\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnder collar to lower back: 26\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition Notes:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease be aware. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll our true vintage items come with a history, and minor signs of age, wear, or character should be expected.
