DILECTA is bringing back the legendary 1966 KAMOME-DILECTA jersey

Featured in the peloton of the 1966 Tour de France, the KAMOME-DILECTA jersey immediately stood out for its visual identity. Its famous red disc, inspired by the Japanese flag, embodied the partnership between DILECTA and Kamome, while breaking with the graphic conventions of the time.

That season remains a landmark one for the DILECTA team. Jean-Claude Lebaube wore the Yellow Jersey, Pierre Beuffeuil won the 21st stage of the Tour de France, and André Darrigade competed in the final year of his professional career wearing the team’s colors.

For this anniversary edition, DILECTA has chosen to faithfully reproduce the original design while incorporating today’s technical requirements. The jersey thus retains its historic lines and distinctive aesthetic, but benefits from modern construction that offers greater comfort, breathability, and performance.

Entirely manufactured in France, this collector’s item is available in a limited edition of 66 numbered pieces, a nod to the year it was first created.

With this reissue, DILECTA continues the work it has been pursuing since the brand’s revival: bringing the highlights of French cycling heritage back into the spotlight by offering products that combine tradition, craftsmanship, and contemporary technologies.
