Valstar

Valstar is an Italian fashion house known for its high-quality outerwear, particularly its iconic "Valstarino" jacket. Founded in 1911 by Enzo and Alberto Valenti in Milan, the company initially produced military and workwear garments. The Valstarino, a lightweight, single-breasted jacket inspired by the American A-2 flight jacket, was first introduced in the 1930s and quickly became a symbol of casual elegance. The brand is recognized for its meticulous craftsmanship, use of premium materials such as suede, leather, and technical fabrics, and timeless designs. Valstar's collections continue to emphasize durability and sophisticated style, catering to a discerning clientele. Over the decades, the brand has maintained its commitment to Italian manufacturing, with production still based in Italy. Valstar jackets are often characterized by their simple yet functional design, featuring details like button or zip closures, ribbed cuffs and hem, and a comfortable, tailored fit. The company has cultivated a loyal following and is considered a staple in the wardrobes of those who appreciate classic, well-made clothing.
