The Fila Vintage Devon Velour polo shirt gives a nod to the original velour tracksuit styles worn by the New York mobsters, the playboys & the ex pat gangsters from the 1980s.
When you think of Fila and Velour you instantly think of New York wise guys or the London wide boys of the 1970s & 1980s. Tony Soprano from the Sopranos working out in his garage or
Sammy from The Business sat around the pool in true "casual loungewear" style. Fictional or not, the underworlds connection to luxury sportswear is massive. With a penchant for luxury clothing & expensive sportswear it's no surprise really that classic styles like the Fila Velour tracksuit have been a go to for mob bosses & playboys since they came on the scene back in the 1970s. For the very latest season Fila put a luxurious spin on the classic polo silhouette with the introduction of the Fila Vintage Devon Velour polo shirt. Giving a nod to the original velour tracksuit styles from the 1980s, the Devon Velour will add a touch of class to any casual outfit.

It was Pier Luigi Rolando's prestigious White Line that gave Fila a new dimension, revolutionising traditional sportswear with vibrant colourways & Italian designer styling. The elitist appeal & premium price tags of original Velour styles like the Terrinda took Italian styling to the max with a luxurious velour fabric and biker jacket style inspiration. Also worn in full tracksuit form, the original velour styles from the 1970s & 1980s were worn by everyone from New York mobsters to ex pat gangsters. A sign to the world that you didn't mess about when it came to "casual lounging". Literally worn for lounging around in, the Fila 'F' logo became like a badge of honour for those in the know. The whole tracksuit velour look became associated with money, style & panache.
