The Ellesse Mont Jacket Returns in a Cotton Canvas Fabric

Inspired by the classic 80s ski-line from the Italian sportswear label, the Ellesse Mont jacket now returns to its spiritual home in an updated version.

As easy as it is to associate Ellesse with a 17 year old Boris Becker lifting the prestigious Wimbledon trophy in 1985, the Italian sportswear brand's ski heritage is just as important. Putting their own colourful spin on ski-wear, the classic designs from Ellesse were louder than Duran Duran fans & more "in your face" than Tom Selleck's shirts in Magnum PI. Their vast archive of ski-wear has everything from its very own Aprs-Ski line to vibrant down jackets & traditional skin-tight ski suits all sporting that classic half tennis ball logo. A fan favourite of the original Casuals of the late 1970s & early 1980s, the ski connection gave Ellesse an elitist appeal straight from the slopes of the Italian Alps, although the closest thing your average working class Casual had come to a luxury ski resort in Italy was probably a dry ski slope in Basildon. Drawing inspiration from the classic ski-line from the 1980s, the Ellesse Mont jacket now returns in an updated canvas fabric.
