Pittards provides jackets for Ethiopian Olympians
06/08/2012
UK-based leather producer Pittards has created special
jackets for Ethiopian Olympic team members who were concerned that a major
change in temperature could affect their performance.
Pittards has had close contacts with Ethiopia for nearly
100 years and recently opened new leather garment and glove making factories in
the country. The idea for team jackets originated from a meeting between the
company and Ethiopian running legend Haile Gebrselassie.
