Spanish Army Track Jacket

Spanish Army Track Top

This is the Spanish Army's own athletic track jacket, a full-zip training top in navy blue with grey shoulder panels and the national colors running down each sleeve. It suits running, gym work and cool-weather layering, and it gives collectors and reenactors a piece of issued Spanish kit with clear provenance. The embroidered army crest on the chest identifies it as government issue at a glance.

Features

• Embroidered Army Crest — The Spanish Army emblem is stitched in silver-white thread on the left chest.
• Red And Yellow Sleeve Stripes — A red, yellow and red stripe in the colors of the Spanish flag runs from collar to cuff along each grey sleeve panel.
• Hook-And-Loop Chest Panel — A square of hook-and-loop fabric on the right chest takes a name tape, unit patch or flag patch with a matching backing.
• Full-Length Front Zip — A center zipper runs from hem to collar so the jacket opens fully and goes on over other layers.
• Zippered Hand Pockets — Two side pockets close with zippers, keeping keys or a phone in place while you move.
• Stand-Up Collar — The grey collar zips up to cover the neck against wind.
• Ribbed Cuffs — Elastic knit cuffs hold the sleeves at the wrist so they stay put during exercise.
• Raglan Sleeve Cut — The sleeves run in one piece to the collar instead of joining at a shoulder seam, which gives the arms more freedom to swing.
• Contrast Front Piping — Curved grey piping runs down each side of the front panel, part of the jacket's original design.

Original Specification

The jacket is made from a cotton and polyester blend with a smooth, slightly sheened face typical of athletic track tops. Navy body panels contrast with grey shoulders, collar and cuffs, and the flag-colored sleeve stripes and crest are part of the issued design. Because it was made to an army contract rather than for retail, it is an authentic example of what Spanish soldiers were given to train in.
