LE DAMIER was inspired by the old French cycling jersey Peugeot: several French cycling brands (La Française, Automoto , JB Louvet and Peugeot) created their own teams as early as 1900. From the 1963 season, the famous Peugeot team wore a new outfit reminiscent of the chequered flag of motor racing.
Great riders have worn this old white cycling jersey with black checkers: Tom Simpson, Merckx, Pingeon Thévenet.
This old mythical jersey was white with a wide band of black chequered stripes under the chest that went all around the jersey and on each sleeve was a black patch.
Palmarès has chosen to produce this top-of-the-range DAMIER polo shirt in Portugal by choosing recognized manufacturers who respect quality standards (production and environment).
100% PGM cotton (mercerised gassed combed) represents the cotton used in luxury textiles; it offers a very soft, silky touch and a luminous shine.
The Palmarès embroidery in 20,000 period stitches enriches LE DAMIER by giving it a plush side.
The black badge where the capital letters LP (Le Palmarès) are embroidered in relief and gold gives the piece originality and a chic "vintage cycling jerseys" fashion side.
The checkerboard silkscreen on the front of the polo shirt gives it a unique and mythical look.
The buttons are engraved and the one on the neck is a specific replica of the old cycling jerseys of the 1950's which gives a unique, authentic and defining side to cycling fashion.
Thus, this old Peugeot jersey with its mythical chequered pattern gives a casual touch to the DAMIER.
