The Classic Fila Roll Neck Gets A Subtle 'Zip' Update
Originally released as part of Fila's legendary 'Ski Line' the classic Fila Roll Neck now gets treated to a subtle update with an added zip.
The saying 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' couldn't be more true when it comes to the classic Fila Roll Neck. However, subtle updates & tweaks to the classics can never be a bad thing. As far as classic Fila gear is concerned it doesn't really get much more 'casual' than the Roll Neck. Worn by everyone from professional skiers to Pompey's notorious 6:57 crew, the Fila Roll Neck is just as important to Casual fashion as a pair of Borg Elite's or a Benetton rugby shirt. A clothing style previously associated with artists, creatives, sailors and skiers was given a whole new sub-cultural connection throughout the 1980s courtesy of the Casuals with their wedge haircuts and White Line wares. As young Casuals browsed traditional sportswear stores of tennis gear & ski clothes, it was continental brands like Fila that really caught their attention with its expensive 'made in Italy' price tag & never seen before designs. Originally released as part of Fila's legendary 'Ski Line' the Fill Roll Neck now gets treated to a subtle update with the introduction of the Fila Vintage Neil Zip Roll Neck which now arrives at its spiritual home.

As the Casuals pretty much created their own trends, when it came to the Fila Roll Neck it was all about how it was worn. Never on its own, but underneath track tops & argyle knitwear. A classic roll neck outfit would probably be something like a deer stalker, a Fila Ski Line down jacket & Lois jeans, adding a certain look of class to the outfit just like a professional skier that wanted to add a bit of extra suave to the slopes. It was all about showing off the highly respected 'F' logo on the neck which gave the Fila Roll Neck its very own unique appeal.
