History of the Fay Fireman Jacket
The FAY fireman jacket is a classic piece of outerwear that has been around for over a century. It was originally designed as a functional garment for firefighters, but it has since become a popular fashion item as well. The jacket is typically made from a heavy-duty cotton or canvas material and features a number of design elements that make it well-suited for its original purpose, such as a high collar, storm flap, and multiple pockets.

The history of the FAY fireman jacket can be traced back to the early 1900s, when the company F.A.Y. (Fogarty, Appleton & Young) began producing fire-resistant clothing for firefighters. The company’s jackets quickly became known for their durability and reliability, and they were soon adopted by fire departments across the United States. In the years that followed, the FAY fireman jacket underwent a number of changes and improvements, but it has always retained its classic design and functionality.

Today, the FAY fireman jacket is still a popular choice for firefighters, but it is also worn by people from all walks of life. It is a versatile jacket that can be dressed up or down, and it is perfect for a variety of occasions. Whether you’re looking for a functional piece of outerwear or a stylish fashion statement, the FAY fireman jacket is a great option.

After a trip to the USA, Diego Della Valle had the great idea of interpreting the Fireman jacket from the New York Fire Department FDNY as an outdoor jacket. The result was a jacket that became an icon with cult status and paved the way for the great success of the Fay brand.

Luca di Montezemolo wore this jacket over his flannel suit, Niki Lauda was seen with it at the Formula 1 pits and Steve McQueen made this a highlight alongside Paul Newman in the movie “The Towering Inferno”.
