One of my favourite pieces that I've found in recent years! This is a 100% genuine olympian's tracksuit, made by Wilson for Team USA for the 1964 Olympics. Timing obviously couldn't be more opportune for this piece, with the US currently leading the Olympic table in Paris. This wonderful piece is in absolutely mint condition and looks like it was made yesterday. The brass Talon zippers work like charm, there are no marks or damage whatsoever. These have been copied and reproduced so often, but there is nothing quite like having an original!
I've pulled out a bunch of images of the team wearing these, even Don Schollander, the star of the 1964 games who won four gold medals in swimming!
Unfortunately it's not named, just a very slight R handwritten on the Wilson tag.
