Valstar Valstarino Suede Jacket Italian Outerwear
Valstar is one of the historic names of Italian outerwear, founded in Milan in 1911 and renowned for its refined interpretation of the modern jacket. Combining traditional craftsmanship with functional design, Valstar garments represent more than a century of Italian sartorial heritage and remain a reference point for elegant outerwear made in Italy. The brand is best known for the iconic Valstarino jacket, inspired by the original A-1 flight jacket worn by American pilots and reinterpreted with Italian sophistication. Introduced in the 1930s, the Valstarino jacket quickly became a timeless menswear classic, particularly in its celebrated suede version, balancing casual elegance with refined tailoring. At Wools Boutique Uomo Geneva, the relationship with Valstar spans more than a decade and has developed into an exclusive collaboration. Through the Valstar x Wools Boutique Uomo co-label project, the boutique personally selects the fabrics while Valstar crafts the jackets in Italy. Many of these pieces are made using fine cloth from the historic English mill Marling&Evans, resulting in three exclusive Valstarino jackets available only at Wools Boutique Uomo worldwide. Each co-label Valstarino jacket is accompanied by a matching handmade tie created from the same fabric as the jacket, reflecting the boutique’s sartorial philosophy and its vision of a complete and harmonious menswear wardrobe.
