In keeping with our liking for brands with a bit of heritage we've just had a rather spiffing delivery of the very latest take on Robe di Kappa's classic polo shirts. Forget the slight dip the brand suffered a few years back. This is a name synonymous with cool on the football terraces and beyond.Kappa was set up in 1916 in the historic Italian city of Turin, home to footballing giants Juventus. Robe di Kappa grew out of that in the 1960's as young men the world over took to wearing polo shirts as a fashion item rather than something to play racket sports in.
Unlike their contemporaries Fred Perry and Lacoste, Robe di Kappa enjoyed significant success away from the tennis courts and instead in football, with countless clubs choosing the Italian brand to manufacture their kits throughout the 1970s and particularly the 80s. The striking logo featuring the silhouette of a naked couple helped cement them in the minds of many and the brand made the short leap from the pitch to the terraces.
It's easy to confuse Robe di Kappa with the more downmarket stuff that was knocking about ten or so years ago. Don't make that mistake though. This is seriously ace stuff we're talking about here. Discreet apart from the Robe di Kappa logo on the chest and the same shape and quality as they have always been, these polo shirts are timeless. They'll never go out of fashion. You need to buy one before the sun decides it's time to pack up and disappear for another year.
