Hope this isn’t a repeat but the coolest guy ever - and i mean ever - to wear a jacket and be famous and be a hero is this guy. And by all accounts to the core

I think what makes Stewart so cool is that he didn’t just wear the jacket as a fashion piece, he wore it for real.. He lived it. He put it all on the line, many times over. As did a few other celebs .

Bob Crane and Frank.

Yes I know it’s not a studio jacket.
But if Frank Sinatra who wore the jacket during the filming of Von Ryan’s Express can wear it and then it has a starring role in Hogan’s Heroes, it works for me.

I read somewhere that this jacket is studio made and not a contract jacket. The collar looks too big.

Jimmy Stewart was 6'1" but skinny so a size 40 looks way short on him.

Hi Spitfireace
That’s not exactly correct. He may have had a Hollywood jacket later in his movie career, but he wore a issued Rough Wear 1401p contract A2 jacket pictured below, which is currently in the Wright Patterson AFB Museum.

Yup Jimmy didn't get out of his duty as some others might have. He was a hero, he didn't shirk duty.

Indeed Burt. There are old people in this area [where he was stationed] that still remember him with fondness and admiration.

Jason Statham in "Killer Elite"

Just watched that the other night.
Statham carried Di Nero in that one, in my opinion.
