Ellesse is a sports apparel company founded in Italy in 1959. It is owned since 1994 by British Pentland Group. ==History== Ellesse was founded by Leonardo Servadio in Perugia in 1959. The name Ellesse derives from the initials of Servadio's name, "L.S." Ellesse grew in popularity during the 1970s as a producer of skiwear such as quilted jackets and ski pants. In 1979, Ellesse's Jet Pant, a ski pant featuring padded knees and a wide lower leg to fit around a ski boot, was included in an event at the Pompidou Centre in Paris celebrating Italian design.〔(Ellesse: Did You Know? ) Retrieved 2009-11-04〕 Another sport with which Ellesse has been closely associated since its early years is tennis.
