Well, finally i stumbled over a nice vintage number in almost perfect condition. Oldschool SI being normally very big fitting i never have luck to find a pre 2000 Stone Island piece in my size. Everybody knows the nineties have probably been the best era for this label, well i think they release great jackets and designs nowadays but back in the days Stone Island has been something else.
Today all the ideas, designs, fabrics and materials aren`t something special anymore because they aren`t revolutionary like back in the days. Colour changes, reflective fabrics, shimmer garment. That was innovative and hard to come by. Today you have a great choice because of the internet, unfortunately that means a lot of fakes knocking around aswell.
The waxed cotton is quite a normal jacket in comparison to other extraordinary Stone Island jackets. The name explains it all, a jacket made out of a wax coated cotton material, which makes the jacket water repellant. Combined with the detachable inner lining it`s a simple, warm, reliable winter coat. Simply a Stone Island all time classic. The cutting is kinda baggy and the position of the badge is lower than on the modern coats, very typical for the SI 90`s look, but never the less cool as fuck.
