Stone Island History

Stone Island History
.
Instagram: @DoctorSoles11
The brand was founded in 1982 by Massimo Osti
More on him later!
A commonly used nickname for Stone island is Soney- post Malone pose
first adopted by the Paninaro youth in Italy in the ’80s - their style was very much inspired by ’50s Americana, but combined with sporty Italian designer labels. It was around this period that British football fans, following their teams to European Cup games, started bringing back some of these same labels to wear on terraces in the UK
Now some say its early evolution as a cultural staple started thanks to soccer hooligans from the UK. They wanted to avoid cops and rival clubs so instead of wearing team colors they started wearing flashy designer stuff…
Not sure how one led to another…but I wasn’t around so I just gotta assume that’s how they got down….with the get down
this eventually would turn into a dick measuring race for who could have the most expensive, rarest, most modern threads, and stone island fit THA BILL
Many would say Stone Island was perfectly suited for “casual Culture” - the supreme of its time basically…except instead of a box logo you have this famous patch that allows people to know you mess with stone island, and ya got good taste…since the pieces stand out and are obviously high quality…but to the untrained eye are not a loud obnoxious statement
This eventually evolved to finding Stoney in inner cities and tied to the grime scene, with THA PATCH now a badge of raw masculine muscle
Now theres a lot of thought that Grime OG Skepta’s close ties to drake led to Drake being turned on to Stone Island and leading a young generation of young hypebeasts to know about the brand in the first place
And that may be true, but at the end of the day, you cant grow as a brand or garner respect, without substance, and boy does Stone Island have it…
They’re renowned for pushing the boundaries of technology and innovation in their military designed garments for decades…and im very drawn to brands like that…those that push us forward and are constantly looking to evolve
I mean…heat reflective fabrics??? Are u kidding me??
I really tried to find a piece of those but they are literally impossible to find. Always sold out. Or lack of something in my size. Or whatever. Such a shame. Cuz that’s so bad ass
Massimo Osti set the blueprint for Stone Island and his legacy still informs where it is today. He’s the man who brought us reflective jackets, color-changing heat-reactive jackets, polyurethane-lined weather protective jackets, reversible jackets, dual-layer jackets with removable linings. These are all ideas that are now commonplace, and I guarantee that every major fashion house in the world has some of his work in their archive somewhere.
The compass symbolised love for the sea and an aim for constant research.
It drew influence from naval military uniforms
Osti was obsessed with military and workwear
The name for the brand was inspired by Joseph Conrad novels, and apparently the words STONE and ISLAND came up ova. And ova. And OVA again…leading Osti to use it as his brand name given his extensive experiementaiton with sea elements on his fabrics.
Shadow project!

It belongs to the casuals not the hypebeasts

[@DoctorSoles11]

lots have said that

[@ricardosoto5770]

Casuals=football/soccer hooligans.... The problem is that the true hooligans have moved to other brands because Stoney has become mainstream and also well.

[@michaelmcboomboom7473]

ricardo soto yea like cp company. Too many people wear stone island now

[@ricardosoto5770]

What about Paul and Shark and One True Saxon? Are there popular among hools?

[@michaelmcboomboom7473]

ricardo soto Paul and shark is a bit but it isn’t recognised as much even though imo it’s way better quality and if by true Saxon you mean true religion then Edwin jeans are usually more popular

[@louisking4143]

i hate hypebeast wearing stone island

[@DoctorSoles11]

i dont hate it, but i understand it

[@Youtuber24578]

No, that stigma comes from the fact that a lot of football ‘hooligans’ wear clothing by stone island. Then because of that a lot of other people started to dislike it and became deterred from purchasing products from the brand.

[@noahmathews772]

Dadasha the Italians are hooligans themselves, called ultras and ‘white trash english chavs’ lots are of African/Carribean roots especially London and midlands teams

I know for a fact that Stone Island hate this Image, I used to know somebody who worked for them. Its stems from the football fans who took a liking to the brand.

I'm only going from what a mate told me, this was 20 years ago. He worked for them when we were students and he told me that they really don't like the negative Image that can be associated with some of the fans. I've never followed football but I do still own a few good SI jackets from 20 years back.

The reason it went from football shirts to designer gear is because the hooligans would travel abroad, shoplift a load of designer gear and bring it back and show off that they've followed their team in Europe and have all this designer gear to show for it.

[@henrybowler6982]

hate seeing Americans or hypebeasts in a stony. it belongs to the UK football hooligan culture, and they're​ ruining that exclusiveness.

[@DoctorSoles11]

i can appreciate that perspective as something being ruined, but ultimately i think its more open minded to realize that good brands will always find their way to a broader audience than the culture/subgroup that feels very attached to it at an earlier stage; again assuming it truly is a good brand- which SI obviously is. so yes it will lose its exclusivity, but if you mess with the brand i think you'll look past that, and if you feel your exclusivity is what made you fall in love with the brand as a proxy, you and others that feel the same will gravitate to something new/else and the exclusivity will start again. stay hopeful my friend!

You are right about CP and Stone Island. I tend to have gone to CP more recently. But Stone Island seem to have got a lot better lately. But I would say unless your buying a nice coat from CP , Stone Island is bringing out some really nice quality pieces. The CP clothing just doesn’t have that same quality or wear well after some time. Not a fan of the calibrations for either or this America fellas , he’s a doughnut. Nice coat that jacket though.

I first saw stone island being worn by the Casuals which are UK football hooligans , with some crews bringing clothes from Europe they stole during shoplifting sprees while at football matches abroad. In Scotland there was an ex hooligan who opened a shop in Aberdeen specifically catering to stylish brands , it was a peacock type thing strutting with the best gear and being the best crew. Good video i just stumbled on and was good to hear about it.

As you say Stone Island has been a hooligan brand for a long time and in the casual clothing and hooligan scene it’s not appreciated that the so-called ‘hypebeasts’ take over the brand, just because mainly Drake caused for it to blow up. As im a football fan from the Netherlands I strongly agree with this opinion and though it’s an expensive brand it’s worn by pretty much everyone able to afford(or fake) it which ruins the exclusivity of it.

[@miriamniko2205]

huh ok, so basically when English wankers adapted Stoney it easily started to getting popular more and more, in 70's being a Hool was really popular and when something gains popularity it is well known in every type of social group, one of these social groups are people working as policemen. In the beginning, it was easy for the typical policeman to kind of see who is a Hool. When they've started escaping thru the crowd after fighting with their opponents that are fans of the other team, it wasn't hard to see a band of guys in colorful football shirts. As I said before, many people wore Stoney's so Hooligans used brands like stone island/Lacoste and other brands as a camouflage.

[@DoctorSoles11]

from that stand point it made sense; i guess i just couldnt picture a hooligan type transitioning into "fancy" designer wear but i dont know the european hooligan culture and just have american hardcore sports fans to compare to...which i could never see them going from wearing a jersey for example to wearing lacoste or polo or anything...again not saying i agree/disagree/think its impossible....i just couldnt picture it based on what ive seen personally haha. but good to know!

Mate you dont have a clue ahahah, in europe there are football casuals (hooligans arent really a thing anymore) who dont cause that much trouble but still kick off, casuals typically wear expensive clothes like stone island CP paul and shark etc

Americans finally discovering Stone Island about 3 decades to late.....It took an awful rapper like Drake to ruin this label and now it's lost it's cult status it's just a regular label now and lost it's edgy coolness amongst the loyal masses in Italy and UK.....Please Americans and Drake stay away from CP Company...I got my first Stone Island piece in 1998 and i've boycotted the label once Drake started repping it.

[@DoctorSoles11]

lol good for u. i'd never let my tastes be effected by what someone else is doing but hope u find a new brand u like i guess...until someone else "ruins" that one too

[@telephonic]

@@DoctorSoles11 CP Company and The Real Mcoy's until Drake and Hypebeasts from your side of the pond americanise it and ruin it.

[@RMMsnowboard]

[@dannemannen18]

Yeah. I don't buy SI anymore. I love Aquascutum and MA. Strum and some others. Still use some CP company as well.

Clothing is something everone should be able to enjoy know matter what part of the world or planet they come from.

[@willpickford2134]

But it’s been watered down so much by 13 yr olds using mummy and daddy’s money and think they’re at the height of fashion and wannabe roadman drake showing his arrogant little prick fan base to it. You can wear what you want but it’s a disgrace when people aren’t wearing it for the right reasons.

[@cristobalhansu]

@@willpickford2134 the right reasons? lmfao these aren't PPE

[@willpickford2134]

Hans Christian Cristobal lmao you know what I mean. Hypebeasts ruined it for everyone, just disrespect to the brand and it’s roots.

[@DoctorSoles11]

the casual culture and hooligan roots? you are correct. that's not who I is. or who I be. yet im about stone island. speaks to the brand. no one wants to be one dimensional

[@alexthyer1681]

The reason why hooligans started sporting expensive gear was to avoid police detection as they could not be identified as fans through team colours

[@DoctorSoles11]

yea as ive learned more about it that part makes more sense
