Quick answer
Choose the Rete Track Jacket for a modern, allover check pattern with a comfortable jacquard knit stretch, or the Orion Track Jacket for a classic 80s-inspired silhouette in premium brushed diver fabric with contrast stripes.
Fabric and feel: Jacquard knit vs brushed diver
The Rete Track Jacket uses a jacquard knit blend with stretch, which gives it a textured allover check pattern that feels modern and refined. The Orion Track Jacket is made from premium brushed diver fabric—smooth, soft, and with a subtle stretch that keeps you moving freely during a workout or casual wear.
Style heritage: Refined refresh vs 80s icon
The Rete Track Jacket updates a classic track silhouette with a sharp check pattern and clean finishing, making it a versatile piece for both sport and street. The Orion Track Jacket has been a favorite among tennis champions and British 'casuals' since the 80s, with contrast stripes and piping accents that deliver a sporty, retro look.
