I had the opportunity to get a personal tour of Nalini recently as they are located in Verona province. Quite an operation. Lots of women at sewing machines! They even manufacture their own fabrics. I was impressed with the number of different pro jerseys they make.
I did look for older, wool jerseys, in the stock room (building!) for you guys but only found a few and you would have to weight less than 100 pounds to wear them.
If you know of any Nalini classic team designs that might be popular in the marketplace as a replica issue let me know and I'll pass the word along to them.
Ciao, Angel Garcia Verona, Italy
