Stone Island 4B33 Ultra Light Nylon Field Jacket.

Finally was able to get myself one of the elusive Stone Island 4B33’s. This is the piece that is featured in the GQ UK article about the the 25th anniversary event. Click below to see more pics.

First Impressions
Unfortunately this is one of those pieces that looks better on the hanger and in pics than when actually on. The overall design of the jacket is very similar to the AW07 47154P43 except longer in length. Sizing on the piece fits big. The pit to pit of the L was 23″ which is what you usually find on XL sized pieces. The resined nylon is a great fabric for spring, but in this case just doesn’t have the stiffness to hold the shape of the jacket and the jacket ends up looking sloppy when on. This really was the deal breaker for me so I’m gonna have to give this one a thumbs down.

Left: Hood has a the extra large brim. Right: Inside of the hood with nylon cord for adjustment.

Left: Lampo zipper. Right: Cuff lacks any method of adjustment, has inner cuff with button.

Left: Canvas tape binding to reenforce the seams. Right: Removable canvas belt.

    Looks nice in the pics to be fair, reminds me of Flagship Cp Summer Jacket from last year, which I had and sold as was very light weight and like you say doesn’t hold its shape well when on really. :)

    This has been on my wish-list since seeing them in the GQ article, are they available in NYC Gene? I’ll be over there on business soon so it’d be great to be able to go back into Flannels with yet another jacket they’ve not yet got in stock :)

    Got this in “dark blue” dark navy PURPLE really, fits fine on me a LARGE, looks the dogs nuts on.

    Thumbs up from me.

    Picked up the black one of these - perfect for travel as it weighs next to nothing and can almost fit in a pocket! XXL perfect fit on me - does drop a little due to lightness, but the balance is good between fit and weight
