London- on the Thames - Sept 2011

Mo’ Jackets mo’ problems- pt 3.

This jacket is no longer in my collection, I traded this coat for a similar one, a size larger and in a slightly different (more grey-ish) colourway.

Anyhooooooo, this jacket is a hooded A/W Stone Island “Liquid Silk” jacket, the shell of which is made of silk and coated with some sort of very thin coating. The jacket is lined as well with a thinnish quilted lining. These coats are great for Spring and Fall here, not quite substantial enough for the depths of the Canadian winter, even if this is far southern Canada.

Jacket O’Rama- pt 2. A couple of Stone Island blazers-On the right, an S/S 05 white compact blazer, on the left, a khaki SS/ 05 blazer \ field jacket.

The compact jacket is interesting becuase the process used to make the jacket shrinks it to the size it is now through boiling the garment, it was approximately 4 times larger than it is now before it was subjected to this process.

Some of my jackets- pt 1.

Stone Island Ultra-light Japanese Nylon goose down jacket- from A/W 2005. Probably my warmest coat (warm enough for Eastern \ Southern Ontario winters) and a real looker, IMO.
