To say that the De Marchi Men's Blockhaus 67 Cotton Polo Jersey was inspired by Eddy Merckx is a relative understatement. After all, the jersey does have his name emblazoned across its chest. And while wearing it certainly won't endow you with supreme, Merckx worthy la course en tete capabilities, it will perhaps offer a hint of confidence and a retro inspired look that's hard to argue with, especially considering the fact that Merckx's alternative nickname was The Cannibal and who wants to argue with a cannibal. Though, why not name name the jersey Il Monstro instead of Blockhaus Well, the answer is simple. The famed Blockhaus climb is where Merckx made his mark, pursuing Zilioli's attack, and ultimately won his first stage. In turn, Merckx would go on to win several races and dominate cycling competitions. This jersey is a tribute to Merckx's monumental transition moment and features those iconic checker block details that Merckx was wearing the day that his history changed. In keeping with the original jersey construction, the Blockhaus is equipped with a slim fit, 100% cotton fabric, and a demure swagger that's distinct of winning.
