Our SCIC 1969 Adorni Jersey review
Inspired by the success of competitor Salvarani in cycling, Renzo Fornari started his fitted-kitchen sponsored
team SCIC (Super Cucine Italiane Componibili) in 1969 with newly minted World Champion Vittorio Adorni.
Managed by Ercole Baldini, 1970 was a "tornee' d'addio" victory lap for the popular Adorni in his final year
in pro cycling. Adorni's SCIC teammates that season included sprinters Luciano Armani and Adriano Durante.
Adorno wore this jersey in the second part of the season as he
started 1970 clad in the the Maglia Tricolore of Italian champion.
This SCIC Vittorio Adorni Jersey is an authentic reproduction of the jersey originally made by De Marchi in 1969-70.
They use a itch-free Merino wool blend for easy care, classic
mother-of-pearl buttoned pockets with reinforced stitching, logos in
Cornely-type hand cranked embroidery and doubled cuffs.
Handmade in Italy
by
De Marchi, like back in the day.
We tested this jersey and the feeling was great. The fabric, merino wool, is really soft and very well finished. It is full of details that take you to those 60's and 70's famous cyclists, the SCIC letters carefully embroidered, labels, just great.
We have take some photos to show you all details of this awesome jersey.

About De Marchi
Founded At The Dawn Of Cycling
De Marchi founder
Emilio De Marchi was a pioneer of modern cycling. Born
in 1906, he was friend to cycling legends like Ottavio Bottecchia, Gino
Bartali and Louison Bobet
(in the photo below, with Emilio), just to
name a few. Originally, Emilio De Marchi started his career as a
mechanic of bicycles and motorcycles. After being a racing cyclist
himself, in the 1920's, he became actively involved with some of the
first professional cycling teams ever established.
At that time, quality cycling apparel was very hard to come by, so
Emilio and wife Emma, who were asked by many fellow cyclists, started a
small homemade production of cycling clothing in the 1930's. Emilio De
Marchi's Maglificio Sportivo actively contributed to creating the first
technical cycling clothing created for the sport he loved, as opposed to
more generic "sports" clothes that were more easily available back
then.
Choice Of Champions
In the post WW2 period, Emilio De Marchi brought his daughter Elda into
the business, a second generation of the De Marchi family who would take
the pure passion of Emilio's Maglificio Sportivo into a real business,
Maglificio Sportivo De Marchi. They created iconic garments such as the
Italia track suit and the legend goes on with names such as Fausto
Coppi, Felice Gimondi, Marino Basso, Francesco Moser and Claudio Corti
to name a few, who made it to the top of the cycling world in the
sixties, seventies and eighties wearing jerseys and shorts from
Maglificio Sportivo De Marchi.
From Back in the Day, Still Going Strong Today.
At the end of the 1980's,
Elda's sons came into De Marchi. The third
generation of the
De Marchi expanded markets, worked as cycling clothing
partners with emerging international bicycle manufacturers and riders.
Historically, De Marchi has been the sponsor and/or developer and
manufacturer for Ritchey, Breezer, Marin, Diamondback, Schwinn, Scott,
GT, Trek, Gary Fisher, Cannondale, Specialized, Dainese, Oakley, The
Russian Cycling Federation, Tour of America, Tour of Ireland and the
American Cycling Federation. Just to name a few.
The tradition
established by Emilio De Marchi and carried on by his family to make
great cycling clothing in Italy is alive everyday at De Marchi.
