There are plenty of styles of clothing which may leave others with a distinct and not always positive impression about the wearer. For example, tutus are adorable on ballerinas, but if work by a grown woman to a red carpet event, such as Lara Flynn Boyle a few years ago, what looks so cute on little girls might make an adult look desperate for attention. If you sport a black leather riding jacket, you could be associated with a biker gang, while a vintage, military-style bomber jacket might leave people with the idea that you are a rejected extra from the movie Top Gun, who has not yet come to terms with the end of his prime days. While a khaki trench coat might make you look like you are sniffing out clues and solving crimes, a black leather trench might cause people to keep their distance, as this style has an unfortunate history of violence and mayhem.
In the case of the Stone Island clothing brand, these jackets have come to be associated with their own kind of mayhem, as the wearers of these jackets have been known to be troublemakers, especially at football matches, which has even lead to the forbiddance of Stone Island clothing at some matches. However, don’t let this distract you from the brand, as they have a great deal to offer persons of the non-troublemaking variety as well, having gained more mainstream appeal in recent years.
Stone Island began in 1982 as an offshoot of CP Company designed by Italian Massimo Osti. However, Stone Island would soon become a brand with a separate and distinct feeling from CP Company. Designers at Stone Island are committed to innovation and outside-the-box thinking in terms of the pieces that they produce and the methods they use to produce them. A Stone Island coat is a carefully crafted affair, with experts determining every aspect of the finished product, from the materials used to the construction of the jacket, for high quality pieces that will endure anything. Be aware of fakes and imitations, as the brand is so popular that many seek to feed off of its glory. You can be assured that a genuine Stone Island coat will have no equal in another brand, and that their takes on current styles and trends in coats and other clothing will help you to stand out from a drab, monochromatic crowd.
