Themed Cardio Tennis Clinics in the Fort Lauderdale Area
A crisp nylon taffeta shell over a breathable mesh lining, so it cuts wind and still slides on over a wet shirt — colour-blocked, contrast-taped, with Sergio Tacchini artwork and Italian slogans across the back. Vejle first: a bog woman in an old spinning mill and a building standing in the fjord.
Sergio Tacchini Campo Court Track Men's Tennis Jacket: I read “oldest building in town” and briefly tried to introduce myself to the stones—correction, this is Sankt Nicolai Church, and its tower rises 27 metres, which feels extremely official.
Sergio Tacchini Campo Court Track Men's Tennis Jacket: I saw “old spinning mills” and packed imaginary yarn—rookie move, sorry. The Cultural Museum is in Vejle’s former mills, and the Haraldskær bog woman lies here, which is a much bigger fact than my yarn situation.
Sergio Tacchini Campo Court Track Men's Tennis Jacket: I was told “windmill on the hill” and did not sprint, because professionalism! This Vejle windmill dates to 1890 and stands above the fjord, so yes, I am counting that as altitude training.
Sergio Tacchini Campo Court Track Men's Tennis Jacket: I thought “brick drum in the harbour water” was a typo in the briefing—update, it is Fjordenhus, designed by Olafur Eliasson, and it really does stand in Vejle’s harbour like architecture learned to float.
Okay — first, sorry, I have got the notes here somewhere. Right. The Campo Court Track Jacket. And I know I am supposed to lead with the look, but can I just say the lining? It has a mesh lining. Sorry, that is genuinely my favourite bit and I have only been doing this a few weeks.
The shell is nylon taffeta, which is crisp and light and cuts wind — that is the outside doing its job. But a smooth shell on its own sticks to a damp arm and drags when you try to put it on over a wet shirt.
Here is why, and I did check this with someone who knows.
So there is a breathable mesh lining underneath, which lifts the shell off your skin, lets air move in the gap, and means the jacket slides on after a set instead of fighting you. Then the fun part: bold colour-block panelling, contrast taping, and — turn it round — custom Sergio Tacchini artwork on the back with Italian sports slogans.
Two fabrics, one problem, solved.
Voglia di vincere. Desire to win. It comes in Quiet Grey and in Ultramarine, and there is a matching track pant. What it is not, and I nearly said this wrong, is a waterproof. Taffeta cuts wind. It is not a raincoat. Sorry.
Vejle is the town where I would wear it, because Vejle is full of people who built the second thing better than the first. Sankt Nicolai is the oldest building in town with its tower twenty-seven metres up.
The old spinning mills are now the Cultural Museum, where the Haraldskaer bog woman lies — she was found in a bog and she is around two and a half thousand years old, and the first time I read that I said it out loud in an empty room. And out in the harbour water stands Fjordenhus, a brick drum by Olafur Eliasson, built standing in the fjord itself.
Two fabrics, one problem. That is the whole jacket and I think it is brilliant.
