Stone Island Launches a Highly Limited Prototype Reflective Jacket.
As if Stone Island’s outerwear wasn’t already at the top of their game, the renowned and forward thinking Italian sportswear label is introducing a new range of uber- limited products. Stone Island prototype research series are native limited editions.
The feature garments in fabrics and/ or treatments born from research and experimentation process that have not yet been industrialised. The first of which being a reflective jacket. This isn’t just any reflective jacket, though.
This particular anorak includes details like a half zip fastening at the neck, double front pockets with nylon- tapered edges, Velcro and zippered fastenings, adjustable cuffs, and a bottom hem drawstring.
It also makes use of an exclusive custom made fabric that is highly reflective thanks to a resin coating embedding thousands of glass microspheres, individually laser treated. The finished piece is entirely hand sprayed with a resin- based colour, oven dried again on a flat surface before laser printing applies all over. Three dimensional, tone on tone effects, Stone Island ubiquitous logo is even lasered onto the back of each anorak, Each piece is truly one of a kind.
Both water and wind repellant and limited to just 100 individually numbered pieces.
The high level of artisanship involved in the process makes each garment unique and unrepeatable.
