                                         The stone island s/s09 metallic shimmer art number 50154840 reviewed

First off fellow casualists, I'll get the age old chestnut of originality out the way before I review the item, this is a Rumanian piece in origin

I know the purists are now choking on their MII wash labels but after years of collecting and wearing the brand I really don’t see what the fuss is, stone island is stone island..End of………

Anyway, welcome to the second of many online reviews by myself of this years and previous years collection pieces, the first of its kind anywhere on the WWW so I believe.....

This was a must purchase piece of this year’s spring/summer collection and anyone who has one can tell you why, it’s simply Stone island doing what they do best, creating a want.....

The jacket itself is a mid length garment which sits just nicely atop the thigh area, the piece in question has everything a Stone Island piece should have in my opinion.....

Fixed hood-yes
Attention to detail-yes
High neck profile-yes

The metallic shimmer is a stand out piece and a welcome return to form from Stone Island, its encompasses everything that Stone Island means to most, great design execution, quality materials and above all the need to be seen in one!

The detailing on the jacket spot on, black elasticated trim surrounds the cuffs, hem and hood to enhance the shimmer effect, the material is 100%nylon on the outside covered with a coating of polyurethane(spalmatura),it gives the garment an almost paper/waxy feel to it like some of the previous special resins coats of the 90's,the actual shimmer quality is second to none and coupled with the subtle crinkle effect it simply looks stunning in most lighting conditions, who needs a reflective when you have one of these!

the main body of the jacket is slightly tapered id say, two large front pockets adorn the body with hidden popper fastening and the older style fold down flap part of the pocket  just adds to the design, in this jacket ,stone island have taken bits of old and used them to the fore

i hope you enjoyed the review of the current season metallic shimmer and make it an addition to your wardrobe, you won’t be disappointed!!
