by field9 16. October 2010 00:25

We are putting our AW10 Fila Vintage range in Sale. This Fila Vintage Sale is at least 20% off all items, and some items are up to 60%. This includes the the winning line of the file white label. Included in the fila white label range is the Fila Match Polo, available in three great colourways. 

The File Vintage White Line Collection is a classic line of clothing from the Italian designer sportwear brand; one that was resurrected by it's File Vintage brand, as part of the resurrection of classic clothing from one of the golden eras in it's long history (the Fila centenary is next year). The clothing is distinctive with the big 'F' brand. 

Every brand has it's speciality; it's niche area where it excels. With Fila, we think it's their polos. Tennis was always the sport with which it sprung to global recognition - through the sports stars such as Borg and Becker. 

The Fila match polo is a perennial favourite of recent years, and with the Field9 sale, you can grab yourself a bargain of this classic polo; based on early models of Borg era, the match polo looks as good today as it did then; it's a classic design updated but preserved. This polo is one of the items to be seen in the movie, 'The Firm' (Danny Dyer and Tamer Hassan) which showcased alot of the Fila White Line collection. The match polo is currently available at Field9 in chinese red, dark peacoat and phantom gray; all at £27.99.

Fila Match polo

Fila was established in Italy in 1911 by the Fila brothers. It started out providing clothing for people in the Italian Alps. There primary category was underwear and it was not until the 1970’s that they moved heavily into athletics and Tennis sportswear.

Fila play a major part in many ATP championships around the world throughout the tennis calendar in both sponsorship and player endorsement.

Some of the players that play with the famous F on their chest are Kim Clijsters, Dmitry Tursunov, Andreas Seppi, Janko Tipsarevic, James Ward, Colin Fleming and Ken Skupski, just to name a few. In the past the brand was brought to the forefront of the tennis fashion world by Bjorn Borg.

 

In today’s game the Fila match polo has been replaced by the simple and lighter cotton crew neck with the simple famous F on the chest. The Fila match polo is now a Fila vintage fashion piece at the forefront of the collection. They have the match polo in the range season after season, introducing new colour pallets each spring/summer and autumn/winter. This winter they have Chinese red, Navy Peacoat and the grey phantom.

The Cotton polo’s are vibrant and exciting. The main feature is the two tone collar and cuff on the sleeve. There is a classic Fila logo on the chest.

Moving away from sport, Fila have moved into the movie business in the last few years. Fila was big on the uk fashion scene in the 1980’s and was a highly regarded piece of clothing for the trendy youths of Britain. Many gangs adopted the sportswear as their brand and when two films ‘The business’ and ‘The firm’ came out about English football gangs and English drug gangs abroad in the 70’s and 80’s Fila was to heavily endorse the films and so make a comeback in the uk fashion market.

 

 

In the 21st century Fila endorsed tennis stars such as Bjorn Borg are joined by Movie stars such as Danny Dyer and tamer Hasan.

Fila Game, Settanta, Match

by field9 2. June 2010 03:16

For those of you who are enjoying the French Open right now, you might be disappointed that Murray or Federrer have been knocked out. You could be happy that Nadal is still in though (at least he is while we're writing this!) Anyway, it's also very likely that you'll be aware of a man that goes by the name of Bjorn Borg. If you don't know who he is, have a little look at our link there. The man was, and still is, an absolute legend in the tennis world. And, he was a sharp off the court as he was on it. That includes his dress sense too. Sponsored by Fila, there were a number of jackets designed for Borg that have now become collectors items that swap hands for silly prices. One of those jackets is the classic Fila Vintage Settanta jacket. The originals, as we said, are likely to cost you an arm and a leg and they're probably looking a bit rough round the edges, maybe a little hole here or there. But the lovely people at Fila have decided to relaunch the jacket over 30 years after it was first released. Get your hands on a piece of sporting history. It looks good, it feels good and anyone who knows a little about tennis history will immediately double take and no doubt pass comment about your hot new jacket. Zip thru, with classic Fila fob, two pockets, ribbed cuffs, collar and hem with stripe detail and the classic Fila applique logo to the left. It's as good today as it was back then. Available in kelly green and navy, two great summer colours, these will work well with plain crew neck tees and jeans or shorts, or even a nice short sleeved shirt or polo. And, at only £65, it's an absolute bargain compared to what you might pay for the original thing.

Fila Vintage - Matchday Weekends...

by field9 2. June 2010 03:02

With such a rich sporting heritage, it's not surprising that Fila Vintage is still a firm favourite amongst those smart casual fans out there. We think the summer polo shirts they've released are wonderful. Available in 3 great colours, the new Fila Vintage Matchday polo shirt is a cut above the rest. They're absolutely in trend for this summer, not only for their Mod appeal, but also perfect for sports fans. Available in kelly green, grey and navy, there's a colour for everyone and, at £40, you might want to snap all three up and have them as your staple polo for those summer weekends out on the town. The polo features a 3 button placket, mini ribber collar and cuffs and the classic Fila Vintage logo embroidered on the left breast. We think this is a classic. What better polo to watch the match in...

Fila Sale, 35% off all Fila Products - It’s a Casual Affair...

by field9 20. November 2009 10:17

As acclaimed writer Nick Love (Football Factory, The Business) revisits the football terraces of the Eighties with his remake of Alan Clarke's football hooligan drama, The Firm, we have added further reductions to all Fila Menswear on our website. Get 35% off Fila Polo shirts, Track Tops, Matchday Jackets, Hoodies and more. As big fans of the Fila brand and youth culture we went along to see the film and we where more than impressed to say the least. Going to the match in the Eighties was a world away from the bright shiny surrounds of the modern-day Premier League. The films underlying moral is, ultimately, anti-violence, and as Love explains, getting the details right was vital for the film when wearing the right clothes really did mean everything. As Love says; "Those Fila jackets where really little works of art, especially the ones that were really hankered after but no one could get, they were really big statements". "They where beautifully made with all those little details and if you had one of those jackets for you, it was really life changing. People would treat you completely differently... Check out our 35% off Fila Sale now!
