Stone Island

Stone Island was founded in 1982 by Massimo Osti who was inspired by his love of sailing, and hence the famous compass motif. In the nineties and noughties, if you were serious about about having a row - this was the brand to be seen in. SI Have long revoultionised the area of garment engineering, creating highly sought-after pieces in the process. The robust design, hard wearing fabric and high quality finish had made this brand a mainstay in Football Casual fashion.

The compass motif badge is an optional button-on with the jackets. Although historically a status symbol amongst the Football Casual crowd, the brand can now be seen more widely in popular culture and therefore is rapidly losing it's status amongst the Football Casual elite. Some fear the saturation of fakes on eBay have damaged the brand beyond repair.
