@@kidkangaroo5213 bright days can be deceiving. I thought I was have one once. Turned out it was just a security guard waking me up to tell me I had to vacate the premises or he would call the police. Turns out you can’t test out the sleeping bag’s overnight at the outdoor supply shop after eating several expired MRE’s. Should have a goddamn sign telling me so then!!!

Will always fear the gaf party I was at where a stone islander talked the ear off me for about an hour because of how great it was to represent the brand in their overpriced clothes 😅 tried comparing football hooliganism to punks and got annoyed when I said sounds more like nazis 😂

[@meditationsfortheanxiousmind]

There is absolutely no way you said that to a stone islander and lived to tell the tale, I refuse to believe it

[@jakebyrne7223]

@@meditationsfortheanxiousmind I don't believe he was a true stone islander, more like an arts student trying to establish a foothold in the culture 😅 either way, fella was a nonce texting teenagers so he might well have been a full islander 😂

[@the_local_bigamist]

Reminds me of a time in Saahf East Lahndan when I was talking to this older fella in the pub - it was a student pub but this guy was in there for some reason, and he was complaining, in the last remaining "authentic cockney accent" in the real world (there are none, there are only mockneys now and they are mostly played by Danny Dyer) about how ecstasy and rave culture in the late 80s through to the 2000s ruined football hooligan culture by making people into peace and love instead of kicking each other's heids in. This was Millwall territory, which should signify something to anyone who follows football in Englandshire. Cannae remember if he was wearing Stone Island but he deffo would've owned some of their garb at his home/bedsit/prison hostel or wherever it was he lived. He might've even been a hallucination. He certainly had the aura of a living, breathing parody of a subculture that is now only really understood via bad movies (sometimes starring Danny Dyer) and old documentaries that were made back when it was a moral panic. Should've given him a dab of my MDMA on reflection.

Don’t get it I really don’t. It’s no different to any designer wear. If you can carry it off it looks great , no good wearing it if the rest of your clobber is tatty or your just not with it. Stone Island is very expensive so maybe a bit of jealousy creeps in. Yes the fakes look terrible but a nice Stone Island jacket / jumper or coat looks cracking !!
