FRENCH TERRY. Say it with me. FRENCH TERRY. Nobody gets excited about a fabric name and TODAY THAT CHANGES, because this is the good stuff and I am not letting it go past unannounced.
It is a knit with loops on the inside face and a smooth surface on the outside — so the side against your skin is all soft loops, and those loops hold air and soak up sweat, while the outside stays flat and clean-looking. Soft in, smooth out.
Here is what French terry actually is, and then you will understand why I am shouting.
THAT is why this tank feels the way it does and THAT is why it does not look like gym kit when you walk off the court.
The Greta Tank is cut in Gardenia, a clean bright white, with pop colour stitching accents along the seams — small hits of contrast where the pieces join, which is the cheapest trick in tailoring and the best one — and a custom Sergio Tacchini woven label, WOVEN, not printed. There is a matching Greta Skort.
It is cotton French terry. It absorbs. It is a comfort garment that happens to play tennis, and that is a boast, not an excuse.
What it is NOT is a synthetic wicking vest for the hottest hour of the day.
And Netanya! MAKE SOME NOISE for a town that put a fountain in the middle of its main square and then PROGRAMMED IT. Independence Square, lit and choreographed after dark, just because. There is a cliff-top promenade above the sand with mosaic benches — MOSAIC. Benches. Somebody tiled the seating.
And out at the Dora rainpool reserve there is the largest stand of purple iris anywhere on earth. The LARGEST. STAND. OF IRIS. ANYWHERE.
Soft loops in, smooth face out. Say it with me. SOFT IN, SMOOTH OUT.
