It's been a big day in the store on the Fila front. We've had a big delivery and we'll be working late to get out your pre-orders! Here's the list of the big Fila Vintage drop plus some new items:
The Lounger Robe in Red and Navy
The Linesman Jacket in Gardenia and Navy
The All England Jacket
Piedmont Button Cardigan in Brown and Navy
Five Stripe USA Fleece in white or navy
Lined Zirro Nylon retro jacket in Navy
For our range of Fila Vintage and Fila Gold visit StuartsLondon.com
Due to the huge success of the red Spin Jacket the Peacoat Navy and Gardenia (white) have been added to the collection. Stock is limited. Slim fit style, based on an archive replica the Spin Jacket has become one of the most popular styles this season.
"it's bit of an underdog" says Ravi at Stuartslondon.com "We were not expecting the demand on this style to be as much as it has become, and we bought way under expecting it to be a normal sell-through style. Thankfully we have managed to secure some more stock, and the navy, since we added them to our store and website, have began to sell faster than the red"
The Spin Jacket is made from poly triacetate, giving the jacket the old school retro feel and look.

Another day, another piece of Vintage Fila. The Fila Vintage Matchday Cardigan puts us in a post-match mood, finds us relaxing after a hard day on centre court, ...you get the idea.
More suave and sophisticated than its Matchday Jacket stablemate, this limited edition cardie holds its own in Merino wool with a slim, vintage fit.

Keep it Fila when you're on the move. Fila Vintage have brought us this fantastic retro piece of hand luggage. At two foot long and 10 inches wide and built from tough leather-look material, the Fila Vintage Large Travel Holdall will happily accommodate your Matchday's, Terrinda's and Polo's with room left over for your Lifer Tennis Shorts.
I'm also told that this holdall will carry other brands - amazing!
Scoot over to StuartsLondon.com for this bag and the rest of our Fila Vintage range.
The green Terrinda's are now in-store, but be quick because numbers are very limited. As you probably know, the Terrinda Jacket is the rarest of the whole fila collection. Also known as the Matchday Mark 3, the name Terrinda comes from the fabric used to make this jacket and in the 80's it was the most expensive item to be introduced to the fila collection.
Stock is limited and production for this jacket is controlled by Fila so the high demand will not be completed, so order early to avoid disappointment.

StuartsLondon.com does not stock much of the Fila Gold range, just select items. When I talk to the guys at Stuarts they are very cautious about this range, which is a shame. They know they can sell Terrinda (when they get it). They know they can get a great response when the reissues come in. But come on! This is 2009, and we can't just lust over something wed wore when we were 15.
The Fila Gold range is, as I see it, a continuation of the styles we wore, not a reproduction of them (Fila Vintage caters to that). Fila Gold is an honest approach to the question: What should we do next..? Let's take the best of the past, and apply it to the present, the 21st century.
I know that there is a lot more to Fila Gold. I get to see the lines that Stuarts choose not to stock. To find-out more, or to see the current Fila Vintage / Gold range go to StuartsLondon.com, or Contact us

New in from Fila Vintage, this jumper couldn't be more 80s retro if it had shoulder pads and a perm. It's got a great fit, not too long in the body with generous sleeve length. Crying-out to be teamed with the Bomedera Gillet, the Siro really reminds me of those Patrick cagoules we used to wear way back when. Here's the specs:
• Crew Neck 80s Ski Jumper
• Knitted Style
• 80% Lambswool, 20% Polyamide

Talking of ski jackets, here's one that's already in. The Fila Vintage Bombada Jacket has Fila once again dipping into their Ski wear heritage to bring us very light and very warm winter wear. I have one - and I'm praying for a cold snap!
These are shifting fast, get over to StuartsLondon.com before the cold starts to bite.
In next month, in red and navy, this fantastic retro ski jacket - it makes me think of Roger Moore's James Bond. Although it doesn't come with Union Flag parachute. Oh well.

Don't get us wrong, we love summer, the great tees, nice polos, sharp shorts. But when the season cools down we can wrap up in great winter gear like sweaters, ski jackets, boots and hats.
So we're looking forward to these beanies from Fila - the Vintage Beanie (above) and the Vintage Snow Time Beanie (below). Due to land this month at Stuarts London they bring some 80's ski resort style to the humble beanie hat. Bring on the winter.

When a sportswear brand decides to resurrect product lines from its glorious past, you might imagine a quick rummage through dusty filing cabinets to retrieve blueprints, followed by a brisk walk over to the factory to say "Start making these again, please!"
But this is Fila, and they are not ones to get bogged-down with boring admin and paperwork. Oh no.
The Linesman Jacket was reborn after it was seen on the telly, in old tennis match footage, being worn by... a Linesman. Fila used this footage as reference to painstakingly recreate this jacket, which will soon be in-store at Stuarts London.
