Thinking of getting this for fall and winter: PUMA’s classic T7 gets a velvet upgrade for full-on retro sophistication
The unaltered classic silhouette is actually even more charming
Summary
- PUMA teams up with JOURNAL STANDARD relume to launch an all-new exclusive edition based on the classic T7 Track Jacket.
- It keeps the signature T7 silhouette, including a high collar, ribbed cuffs, boxy fit, and two-way zipper design.
- The biggest highlight is the switch to soft velvet, replacing the usual athletic fabric and giving the Track Jacket a retro, upscale feel.
- Low-saturation vintage tones like brown and navy blue, paired with velvet’s subtle sheen, make this sporty jacket easier to work into everyday outfits.
- Priced at ¥14,850, this special edition brings the classic tracksuit back into the fall/winter fashion wardrobe.
If you had to name the most classic yet easily overlooked jackets, the track jacket would definitely make the list. It was long labeled as something only worn for sports, yet as retro sportswear returns to fashion, its appeal is being recognized again. No complicated styling is needed: a high collar, clean zipper, and relaxed silhouette are enough to strike a balance between casual and stylish. The PUMA T7 is one of its most iconic classic styles.

The PUMA T7 has nearly every element of a classic track jacket: a boxy cut that isn’t overly wide, a high collar, ribbed cuffs, and a front zipper. Its two-way zipper also offers a little more variety in how it can be worn. This time, JOURNAL STANDARD relume has retained the original silhouette, reworking the T7’s strongly sporty feel through its materials and colors.

What stands out most is that the two brands have skipped the usual performance fabrics in favor of soft, substantial velvet. Its delicate, understated sheen, paired with muted retro shades such as brown and navy, instantly gives the T7 a more polished character. Velvet further highlights the track jacket’s inherently relaxed feel: unzipping the high collar naturally creates a structured, dimensional collar, while the roomy body leaves plenty of room to move without looking sloppy. It looks great with a simple pair of jeans or wide-leg pants.
Not reinventing a classic is the smartest part of this collaboration

Rather than using exaggerated design to create buzz, the appeal of this collaboration lies in how the changes are just right. The familiar T7 silhouette remains, yet velvet texture, muted retro colorways, and well-balanced proportions give this classic sports jacket a completely new look. From a practical piece for the track to something that can now easily fit into everyday or even fashion-focused outfits, JOURNAL STANDARD relume once again proves that a track jacket has far more styling potential than you might expect. This special edition is priced at ¥14,850, and for anyone who loves retro sportswear, it may be another jacket worth keeping an eye on this fall and winter.
