{"product_id":"vintage-stewart-florence-italian-calf-leather-flight-jacket","title":"Vintage Stewart Florence Calfskin Leather Aviator Flight Jacket 1940s Style","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"234\" data-end=\"560\"\u003eA vintage Stewart leather flight jacket from Florence, finished in calf leather that has developed over years into something a new jacket cannot replicate. Stewart has been producing handcrafted leather garments in Valdarno, Tuscany since 1975, and this piece carries that provenance naturally in the way it wears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"562\" data-end=\"1061\"\u003eThe hide is rich and warm, sitting in that deep cognac range that shifts toward amber in the light. Across the chest, back and sleeves it shows an honest patina, with tonal variation, natural creasing through the movement points, and the occasional light scuff, all consistent with a jacket that has been worn as intended. It has not been over-finished, allowing the grain and character of the calf hide to remain clear. This is not artificial distress. It is the jacket earning its depth over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1063\" data-end=\"1498\"\u003eStewart was established in Florence in 1975, within a region long associated with leather working. From the beginning the brand committed to entirely Italian production, using traditionally treated hides and time-tested construction methods. The result is garments built to last and improve with age. This example sits comfortably within that lineage, with the original Selected Stewart Superior Quality label present in its full form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1500\" data-end=\"1850\"\u003eThe cut is a longer civilian flight jacket silhouette, sitting below the hip with a clean, controlled shape. The front zip runs the full length with a neat pull. Two chest zip pockets sit at breast height, angled and functional, with two lower slash pockets set into the body. The cuffs are plain and close, and the hem remains straight and balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1852\" data-end=\"2379\"\u003eThe collar is detachable shearling in a warm sand tone, aged to complement the cognac body. It buttons into place at the throat and sits wide across the shoulders when worn open, adding both presence and warmth. Removed, the jacket becomes a more understated civilian piece. The interior is lined in a cotton and viscose weave in a warm tan tone, with a shearling panel across the upper back and shoulders providing additional insulation. Construction throughout is clean and well judged, with strong seams and well-cut panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2381\" data-end=\"2695\"\u003eThe jacket has been professionally cleaned and conditioned in the workshop. The leather remains supple, the lining is in excellent condition, and all hardware functions as it should. What is present here is character, not damage, the surface record of a jacket that has been worn and maintained properly over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"2697\" data-end=\"2700\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"m039v\" data-start=\"2702\" data-end=\"2717\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"2719\" data-end=\"3390\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1f9pngf\" data-start=\"2719\" data-end=\"2794\"\u003eVintage Stewart Superior Quality flight jacket, handcrafted in Florence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"c6dled\" data-start=\"2795\" data-end=\"2865\"\u003eGenuine calf leather outer in deep cognac tone with natural patina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"tkhq4k\" data-start=\"2866\" data-end=\"2910\"\u003eLonger civilian flight jacket silhouette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1rp8o3p\" data-start=\"2911\" data-end=\"2960\"\u003eDetachable shearling collar in warm sand tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"ph6m4b\" data-start=\"2961\" data-end=\"3017\"\u003eShearling panel to upper interior back and shoulders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"69hd3l\" data-start=\"3018\" data-end=\"3081\"\u003eCotton and viscose lining, warm tan, in excellent condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"16sjiji\" data-start=\"3082\" data-end=\"3114\"\u003eTwo angled chest zip pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"6ltptj\" data-start=\"3115\" data-end=\"3142\"\u003eTwo lower slash pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1ytkaoe\" data-start=\"3143\" data-end=\"3175\"\u003eFull length centre front zip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"nouad6\" data-start=\"3176\" data-end=\"3208\"\u003ePlain cuffs and straight hem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"7s2d0u\" data-start=\"3209\" data-end=\"3243\"\u003eOriginal Stewart label present\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"n8hxzx\" data-start=\"3244\" data-end=\"3313\"\u003eLight scuffs and wear consistent with age, visible in photographs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"bygdl7\" data-start=\"3314\" data-end=\"3356\"\u003eProfessionally cleaned and conditioned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"19v5tiq\" data-start=\"3357\" data-end=\"3390\"\u003eAll hardware fully functional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"3392\" data-end=\"3395\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1do4eyv\" data-start=\"3397\" data-end=\"3433\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGarment Measurements (Laid Flat)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"3435\" data-end=\"3663\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"7kuxqd\" data-start=\"3435\" data-end=\"3468\"\u003eChest (armpit to armpit): 25\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1ugpo10\" data-start=\"3469\" data-end=\"3502\"\u003eShoulders (seam to seam): 20\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1k0l3mw\" data-start=\"3503\" data-end=\"3549\"\u003eSleeve length (underarm seam to cuff): 17.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1k8skle\" data-start=\"3550\" data-end=\"3596\"\u003eSleeve length (shoulder seam to cuff): 25\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"hgosu4\" data-start=\"3597\" data-end=\"3638\"\u003eBack length (collar seam to hem): 31.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"j7qais\" data-start=\"3639\" data-end=\"3663\"\u003eSize label reads: XL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3665\" data-end=\"3757\"\u003eBest suited to a 46\" chest.
