What is the Valstarino jacket?
The Valstarino jacket is the most iconic garment produced by Valstar. Inspired by the original A-1 flight jacket worn by American pilots in the 1930s, the Valstarino was reinterpreted in Italy with a more refined silhouette and knitted cuffs. Today it remains a timeless menswear piece, appreciated for its versatility and effortless elegance.
