Italian Carabinieri Jacket

Carabinieri Track Jacket

This is a genuine issue tracksuit jacket from Italy's Carabinieri, the country's national gendarmerie. It is a full-zip athletic top in navy blue with red trim, worn for physical training and off-duty sport. The flaming grenade emblem embroidered at the left chest is the Carabinieri's own insignia, which makes this a clear piece of Italian service kit rather than a generic track top.

Features

• Full-Length Front Zip — A single zipper runs the whole front, so you can open it right down or close it to the throat.
• Stand-Up Collar — The high collar can be zipped up to cover the neck against wind.
• Embroidered Grenade Insignia — The Carabinieri's flaming grenade badge is stitched in red at the left chest.
• Red Contrast Piping — Thin red cord runs along the shoulders and sleeve seams, the corps' service colors against the navy body.
• Two Zippered Hand Pockets — Both front pockets close with their own red-pull zips to keep small items secure while you move.
• Elasticated Hem And Cuffs — Ribbed stretch at the waist and wrists holds the jacket in place during activity.
• Polyester Shell — The lightweight polyester body dries quickly and resists creasing, which is why it was issued for training wear.
• Navy Blue Colorway — The dark navy with red detailing matches the Carabinieri's established sportswear scheme.

Italian Service Issue

The Carabinieri are one of Italy's main armed forces, serving both as a military corps and as a national police force, and their physical training kit carries the same grenade insignia seen across their uniforms. As authentic issued gear, this jacket appeals to collectors of European military and police clothing, reenactors, and anyone who wants a track top with real provenance. Polyester throughout, it wears as easily for everyday use as it did on the training ground.
