For the first time, Loro Piana has designed waterproof items for inclement weather. Jackets in the Wind microfibre are woven using a three-layer technique, so the outer layer is Wind, the waterproof central membrane is Storm System — a treatment invented in 1994 to transform the noblest of materials into water and wind resistant fabrics — and the inner layer is a super-thin and stretchy jersey. All the seams are thermal-sealed, as are the zippers.

Knitwear

For knitwear, super-fine wool once again proves to be the best choice — a natural fibre that offers excellent thermoregulation and is comfortable, lightweight and breathable. This year, super-fine wool has been elasticized to accommodate players' movements, guaranteeing unmatched wearability. In addition, trousers in soft, flowing wool and silk, and polo shirts in technical, breathable jersey, are ideal for outdoor activities. 

Sophisticated Colors
