Since we are on the subject, here are a few recent (and poorly lit) photos of one of my old jerseys. This one was given to me by an amateur (semi-pro?) racer for this Italian Marble & Granite company's team, long ago. Label shows no manufacturer name, tag only states "Pura Lana" (100% wool) and the size "3" (around a US small/medium). Almost 30 years old now, and one of my favorites. Because it has personal significance I really prefer obscure jerseys like this, rather than the famous Pro Team reproductions with the nice soft Merino wool.

This company is still around today and has a web site. They export fancy architectural marble flooring and countertops all over the world. ~ I may actually send the company a couple photos... they may bring back misty memories for one of the old-timers with the company who might recall their old bike racing team sponsorship. --- Notice in the detail that ALL of the lettering on both front and back is embroidered.

It has a couple small 1/4" moth holes which I need to mend. Yeah, it itches... just a bit. - But I think it looks cool on me when I'm riding my black & red Motobecane Grand Record
