If you want to wear it today, you will have to invest 180 euros and should have narrow shoulders - its cut is quite sporty for a replica.

De Marchi 1968 Italy Merino Jersey
Anyone wearing this jersey should have the story behind it: It was on
1 September 1968 in Imola, when the favourites Eddy Merckx and Felice Gimondi took to the start line in the battle for the world title. However, Vittorio Adorni from Italy, Eddy Merckx's team-mate at Faema, won at the end of a 90-kilometre solo escape. This fluffy jersey with the Italian colours on the chest is a reminder of that.
