The sky blue Fausto zipped jersey is inspired by an old cycling jersey that wrote the most beautiful pages in the history of cycling.
As early as 1945, Fausto COPPI wore the mythical BIANCHI jersey for more than 10 years and inspired Palmarès to create LE FAUSTO: this famous sky blue BIANCHI jersey with a wide white stripe on the chest where the name of the sponsor (the famous Italian bicycle brand BIANCHI) was printed, had a round collar with a zipper and two-coloured edges at the ends of the short sleeves.
The image of Fausto COPPI and the famous BIANCHI jersey are inseparable: it is the legendary jersey of FAUSTO.
Under his colours he accomplished his greatest feats and offers us one of the most beautiful palmares of world cycling: 2 Tour de France - 5 Tour of Italy or Giro de Italia - 9 stages of the Tour de France - 22 stages of the Tour of Italy - 3 Milan San Remo - 1 Paris-Roubaix - 5 Tour of Lombardy - 1 Walloon Arrow - 1 Road World Championship and 4 Italian Road Championships.
He also brought to cycling the beauty of his cut on his bike and his method of preparation.
In order to produce Made in France (MIF), we have chosen for the FAUSTO a third generation, century-old factory, labelled Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (Living Heritage Company) and located in the Atlantic Pyrenees.
In this way, our FAUSTO contributes to the preservation of local know-how and employment on our territory.
The 100% jersey cotton knit ( very light 175 g/m²) woven by our factory has a very soft and pleasant touch in contact with the skin.
The round collar and the short sleeve ends on the edge of the short sleeves are pure replicas of the finishes of old cycling jerseys and give FAUSTO a sporty chic look.
The sky blue prize list embroidery on the central white band is made in chain stitch (17000 stitches) and gives our FAUSTO jersey an original look.
The embroidery of the award emblem on the sleeve enhances the authenticity of the piece.
The 14cm zipper on the round tone-on-tone collar gives a casual look when you open the FAUSTO jersey.
