KS Sport Mockba 1980 Track Jacket

The most infamously boycotted Olympics so far was the Moscow Olympics in the 1980s. Thing is, we can't fault them for their aesthetics.

It's widely known that the Russian love affair of all things Adidas style stemmed from the Moscow Olympics in 1980, but when the factories that Adidas opened in Russia for the event were nationalized after the games, more than a few of them kept pumping out bootlegs on the tooling left behind. While ours certainly isn't a bootleg, it's an homage to a whole industry of bootlegs that resulted from the games. 

In continuation of making throwback merch from the era, we've put together a track jacket inspired by ones actually worn at the Moscow Olympics, with a few of our own twists added. Namely in some of the legally distinct iconography. It's not stealing if you're stealing from thieves, comrades. 

This satin-finished track jacket was made in Serbia by the same manufacturer that did our best-selling "Sasha" jacket and their competency in Slavic sportswear certainly shows. The graphics on the jacket are printed in HD and the all-important stripes are separately sewn on the sleeve instead of printed for lasting slav energy.

Care

As we always suggest with any kind of printed garments, the best way to ensure lasting durability of the printed elements is to wash cold and tumble dry low. Never use bleach, and if it needs to be ironed keep it on a cool setting to avoid lifting any of the printed elements.
