Questions About Ellesse

What is the story behind Ellesse? +

Ellesse is an Italian sportswear brand founded in Perugia in 1959, originally designing ski wear. The distinctive ellesse logo was inspired by half a tennis ball, reflecting the brand's dual ski and tennis heritage. Like Sergio Tacchini and Fila, Ellesse has seen a major revival as a retro-sportswear staple.

Does Ellesse clothing fit true to size? +

Ellesse generally fits true to European sizing, with a relaxed athletic cut. Vintage-inspired tracksuit pieces tend to have a slightly roomier 80s-influenced silhouette, which is intentional. T-shirts and polo shirts are closer to standard sizing.

What is the best-selling Ellesse style at Northern Threads? +

Ellesse's colour-block track jackets, heritage polo shirts, and signature logo t-shirts consistently perform well. The brand's bold use of colour and retro Italian styling make them popular choices for heritage sportswear enthusiasts.
