Original Name: Sports Time
Description:
Jogging suit made of fleece sweater material that has striped pant legs and sleeve extensions made of a second thinner fabric. It also has a tall ribbed collar and piping along the armpit, trunk, and pant leg seams. Occasionally it came with a terry cloth hand band. It generally came with regular lace-up shoes and socks. Very occasionally, they came with sneakers.

This outfit was sold from 1983 until 1985, most likely longer. It was sold both on kids and packaged, starting in 1984.

If you have an outfit that is not recorded here or does not match my information, (e.g. you have an 18A KT that is pink, not white) I would appreciate hearing from you. Information is best sent in the form of pictures. For details on the pictures required, jump to Taking Clothing Tag Pics.

This outfit does not appear to have been manufactured by the primary factory SS.
Variations
> The following are observable differences between outfits produced at various factories.
- fabric types
- colour/shade
- width of the stripes
- piping solid/dashes
- length and pattern of dashes on piping
- pattern on the sleeve cuff

>Mimic Outfits: I am aware of one USA version of this outfit and the only visible difference is a lack of piping on the pants and the sleeve seams.
> So far, it appears that KT is the only factory that produced solid colour piping. The rest are dashes.
> The KT Hong Kong versions of this outfit have been found with small flower patches at the neck. Do you have another example of this?
