Keen to ensure that Penfield don't get all the Puffa Gilet action this season, the Fila Vintage Bombedera Gilet has Fila yet again dipping into their Ski wear heritage to bring us very light and very warm winter wear. With your arms free it's much easier to, say, change a lightbulb. When it's a bit cold.
This Gilet and the rest of our Fila Vintage and Fila Gold range can be found over at StuartsLondon.com
As if these weren't exclusive enough already, we now have in stock the Fila Vintage Green Terrinda Jacket with a 'Pro Badge' in the style of those jackets originally issued to players and not available to the buying public.
These are extremely limited, so be quick…

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!

Have a look at Jez and Lisa's 1989 Vespa PX200. They've kindly sent us pictures of their beloved scooter, specially painted in a Fila Matchday Settanta Jacket theme, and we think it looks great!
Jez has been into scooters since the mid eighties and always wanted a custom scooter but never really had time and money to build one - until now. And what a result, inspired by the eighties when everyone was wearing Ellese, Sergio Tacchini, Kappa and Fila.
Says Jez: "I only had at that time a navy Sergio track top and a royal blue Fila top as Mum's purse wasnt that big! The idea initially came from a friend, as I now have about 24 track tops, and after thinking about things I decided to have scoot sprayed as a Settanta Matchday jacket. The Settanta was probably the most recognised item of clothing at that time as Bjorn Borg was wearing the Settanta Matchday at Wimbledon."
The scooter features the words 'Be Someone' - a quote from the film 'The Business', from the scene when Danny Dyer's character looks into the clouds. 'Admired by many worn by few' is from the Fila advert featuring Danny and Tamer Hassan. The paint job was carried out by John Spurgeon at Aerographics of Norwich and the scooter was stripped and rebuilt by Jez at a cost of £4,500. Wow.
Many thanks to Jez and Lisa for sharing their pictures with us.

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
• Fitted Style
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.
