Sergio Tacchini SS26 & 60th Anniversary Collection Lands at RD1 Clothing

By February 17, 2026Guest Post

For six decades, Sergio Tacchini has shaped the look of sport-inspired fashion. Founded in Italy and rooted in tennis heritage, the brand quickly transcended the court, becoming a defining presence across terraces, music scenes and street style movements throughout Europe and beyond.

To mark the brand’s 60th anniversary, independent Hastings retailer RD1 Clothing is proud to announce one of its most significant Sergio Tacchini launches to date. The exclusive 60th Anniversary collection is now available, alongside Drop 1 of the highly anticipated Sergio Tacchini SS26 menswear collection. 

Together, these releases set the tone for the season and underline RD1’s commitment to bringing globally recognised labels to its customers.

RD1 Clothing: Independent, Established & Trusted


Located in Hastings, East Sussex, RD1 Clothing has firmly established itself as one of the UK’s most respected independent menswear retailers. With a carefully curated brand mix the store has built a loyal following both locally and nationwide.

As an authorised stockist of Napapijri, Pretty Green, Weekend Offender, Sergio Tacchini, Fila, Diadora and Aquascutum, RD1 is known for its strong focus on football casual culture, mod influence and retro 80s and 90s menswear. Inclusivity is also key, with sizing available up to 4XL across selected ranges.

What truly distinguishes RD1, however, is the level of service. The store has earned consistent praise from customers, described by many as “simply the best online casuals shop by far”. Whether in-store or online, that hands-on approach remains central to the business. 

While proudly rooted in Hastings, RD1’s reach extends far beyond the town. Customers travel from across the UK to visit in person, and the brand’s daily TikTok Live sessions connect directly with a growing national audience, offering styling advice, first access to new arrivals and exclusive offers in real time.

It’s this combination of independence, authority and community engagement that makes RD1 a natural partner for Sergio Tacchini’s 60th anniversary celebrations and the launch of the SS26 collection.

Celebrating 60 Years of Sergio Tacchini

2026 marks 60 years since Sergio Tacchini changed the face of tennis, breaking from tradition by introducing colour into a sport once defined by all-white dress codes. That bold move laid the foundation for a brand that would go on to shape sportswear far beyond the court.

The 60th Anniversary collection pays tribute to that legacy through a refined capsule combining heritage design with premium materials and thoughtful detailing. Signature silhouettes return in carefully constructed knits, complete with dual embroidered logos, engineered stripe accents and subtle nods to the brand’s Italian roots.

Presentation plays a key role in the drop’s appeal. Each piece arrives in special edition collector’s packaging, complete with a custom anniversary box, commemorative postcard and bespoke labels, underlining that this is far more than a standard seasonal release.

The collection also marks the return of The World’s Club, Sergio Tacchini’s long-standing message of unity and inclusivity, a sentiment that continues to resonate across football casual culture today.

RD1 owner Mickey describes the launch as a significant moment for the store:

“Having an iconic brand like Sergio Tacchini at RD1 is unreal in itself, let alone the 60th Anniversary Collection.

This drop is pure class, complete with special edition packaging that makes it a real collector’s piece.”

The New Sergio SS26 Menswear Collection

Alongside the 60th anniversary capsule, Sergio Tacchini SS26 is arriving in two major drops at RD1, with Drop 1 available now and Drop 2 landing later in the season.

Rather than focusing on one aesthetic, SS26 brings together terrace heritage, tennis tradition, bold 80s sportswear and classic Italian styling. It’s one of the most complete Sergio collections in recent years, offering something for long-time fans of the brand as well as a new generation discovering it for the first time.

Drop 1 – Available Now

Drop 1 opens the season with some of Sergio Tacchini’s most recognisable and in-demand styles.

Leading the release is the iconic Dallas range, delivering classic court energy through sharp panelling and signature retro colour blocking. The latest Velour pieces channel the brand’s 80s terrace legacy, rich in texture, confident in silhouette and instantly recognisable.

The Ghibli pack brings bold contrast detailing and standout colour combinations for those who favour statement sportswear, while Locchi and Dallarindo introduce refined track tops, knit polos and summer-ready separates that blend heritage design with modern wearability.

Collectively, Drop 1 feels assured, nostalgic and unmistakably Sergio, the kind of release loyal customers move quickly on.

Drop 2 – Coming Soon

Drop 2 builds on that momentum with another strong wave of key styles.

The Orion pack introduces fresh seasonal colourways and updated track silhouettes, while the ever-popular Damarindo range returns with its signature stripe detailing and terrace-ready tracksuits.

Completing the drop are the Sergio Tacchini Summer Essentials, offering clean, versatile staples designed for warmer months, alongside bold, football-inspired World Cup styles that add graphic energy to the collection, arriving in time for the June tournament.

If Drop 1 delivers heritage heavy favourites, Drop 2 expands the season with versatility and summer impact.

Why Shop Sergio Tacchini at RD1?

In an era dominated by faceless online retail, RD1 offers something increasingly rare: independence, authenticity and genuine community connection.

With deep roots in terrace culture and a customer base that understands the heritage behind the brand, RD1 presents Sergio Tacchini in the way it was always intended to be worn. The 60th anniversary pieces are treated as collectors’ items, not just seasonal stock, and Drop 1 of SS26 has already generated strong demand.

As an authorised stockist, RD1 provides confidence in authenticity alongside practical benefits including free UK delivery on orders over £100 and fast-tracked dispatch. Key pieces are available in sizes up to 4XL across selected styles, ensuring broader accessibility without compromising on brand integrity.

In a market where limited releases move quickly, timing matters. As many loyal customers know, when the right Sergio Tacchini style lands, it rarely stays available for long.

The collection is available in-store and online now via RD1’s dedicated men’s Sergio Tacchini range.
