What to know about Sergio Tacchini
Named track tops do the work
The catalogue turns on velour and tricot styles like the Dallas, Orion and Damarindo: block colour, contrast taping, plus terry polos, shorts and logo tees.
Court credentials, terrace afterlife
Founded in 1966 by an Italian tennis champion and worn by Sabatini, Sampras and Djokovic, it was later adopted as a UK terrace-casual uniform.
Rebuilt under new Korean ownership
After a 2007 bankruptcy, F&F bought the brand in 2022 for about $63 million; ranges now span tennis, pickleball and a Luxe line, with A$AP Nast and Wavey Garms collaborations.
