Stewart

[John Lever]

I think this was touched on in a previous version of the forum, but I wonder does any one have one of their jackets? The website is very brief with no prices or close up detailed photographs. They make an A-2 and an A-1.

Sproingggg!!! That's nice. Aero are devils ain't they?

 

[John Lever]

No I think it's an Aero. Stuart is an Italian company.

No .... Stewart is an Italian company.

John,
I have had two Stewart A-2 jackets and they are just unbelievably good! They might not be the most accurate repros on the market but the quality of hides and overall craftsmanship is simply superb. In the league of the Few or Buzz Rickson's.
They are based just outside Florence and I have been there recently; It's a small factory run by flight jacket enthusiasts....they have a nice collection of original A-2 and many other military leather jackets from all over the world. They also do "civilians" leather garments too. Their A-2 does not come cheap but their goatskin is just the real thing. I will post some pictures later.....
If you ever go to Italy (Tuscany) it's well worth the trip.

Thanks Andy,
It's a shame their website is so brief and lacking prices and decent photos.
How much is an A2 ?

 

[Mr.Russett]

Second Stewart A-2 (that I sold one year ago on eBay...)

 

[Mr.Russett]

John,
you can expect to pay around 600 euros....

 

[havocpaul]

What are the zippers like on these...left-sided Euro or 'correct' US style?

 

[zoomer]

Actually several A-1 variations. The style is an established favorite in Italy, most often in suede.

Modello "Mitchell"

This one with a BIN at the moment, one of yours?

They look cool jackets.

I quite fancy a Copert usato do they sell them on line or have any retailers in the UK
