Discount Stone Island Jackets

Stone Island is one of the most popular brands on the Kitmeout Fashion Forum. Here is a bunch of threads going back over the years. See Here >

Take a butchers at the kind of comments: “It’s all part of the brand mystique that Stone Island in Italy and the Fourmarketing boys in the UK try to generate. Have to say they have done an incredible job over the past decade keeping Stone Island in the consciousness of it’s target audience and maintaining incredible and consistent sales. If they cannot get a grip on all the fakes and parallels coming into the UK they could find the brand in trouble in the very near future.”.

Stone Island Jacket R.I.P.

Back in 2005 there was a thread on the Kitmeout forum which proposed Stone Island R.I.P. Take a butchers at the thread here.

This was the period when Burberry was at the height of its chav fame, the days before the American from Indianapolis, Angela Ahrendts, pulled Burberry away from the brink.

History has proven the question over Stone Island’s longevity was inaccurate and that the fashion visionary Massimo Osti’s legacy was far greater than the pigeon hole people were trying to put Stone Island into. The brand has gone from strength to strength and deservedly so.

Stone Island Jacket – 30th Anniversary Special

30/30 JACKET 30TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL 5715 4TTY2

The 30/30 jacket is a cross section of the state of the art of Stone lsland. A testament to three decades of exploration and development. Two pieces in one, the jacket shell and jacket liner, both reversible, which assume different features in 30 ways of use. They can be worn, together or alone, in a total of 10 different ways and in 3 different states: Normal, Ice and Reflective.

The hooded jacket shell is in RUBBERISED SATIN PRISMATIC COVER.

Jacket in Raso Gommato: cotton satin, military fabric, with a polyurerhane coating, waterproof and windproof. It is a glossy, transparent and finely grooved film that provides a three-dimensional prismatic effect that refracts light, amplifying the effects of the bi-colour double dyeing. The addition of a special agent to the dyeing recipe makes the garment antidrop. Inside, the jacket liner in THERMO REFLECTIVE, a thermo-sensitive and reflective fabric. A nylon substrate, bonded both with glass microspheres that enable the fabric’s refractivity as well as the microencapsulated pigments that change the passage of light are incorporated, and therefore the colour of the material changes as a function of temperature.

FROM 1982 TO PRESENT

It is an important year for Stone Island, that through a growth, which has allowed it to double its sales since 2007, is getting ready to face an important 2012: the 30th anniversary celebration of its hard work will see its involvement in both product and communication projects.

30 YEARS OF THE PRODUCT

This is a celebration that begins with the product because, for Stone Island, that’s where it all begins.
The next Autumn/Winter ‘012 collection, an important and structured collection, really represents the excellence that the company has achieved within each family of product. 3 symbolic pieces have been designed to represent par excellence the history and methodology of Stone Island.

– Tela Stella: the genesis, the origin.
In1982, Stone Island was founded with just one fabric in 6 different colours. Thirty years later, the exact replica of a piece from its first collection is available, a fabric inspired by a study on the technical and functional features of tarpaulins for military trucks.

– Reflective Knit: playing with material.
Transferring technology from fabric to yarn, the ultimate in Stone Island research. Created using a Reflective yarn, built with micro plates covered with thousands of glass microspheres enclosed in a polyester net, printed using pressure/heat sublimation to melt the fibres and get an even surface with a jersey and high performance Windstopper® liner.

– 30/30: engineering the garment, the sum of the key.
Stone Island technologies.
Two garments in one, both reversible, which can be worn in 30 different modes. In Raso Gommato Prismat¬ic Cover, a cotton-based satin coated inside with a prismatic polyurethane film, garment dyed with a double dye formula and in Thermo Reflective, a heat sensitive and reflective fabric knitted inside.

30 YEARS OF COMMUNICATION

Three decades to talk about, covering various areas and remaining faithful to the language of Stone Island.

– The Show: with the Fondazione Pitti Discovery, at the Stazione Leopolda in Florence in June 2012, starting with Pitti Uomo 82.
A retrospective that explores all the key areas of Stone Island.

– The Book: 300 iconographic images that cover its 30 years history. It will be released in June / July by Silvana Editoriale and printed by Grafiche Amilcare Pizzi.

STONE ISLAND CHOOSES RICCIONE

A video on the opening of the lastest (the next) flagship store.

To open a flagship store is always a unique event that gives to a brand a lot of energy. Especially to us, who decided to conceive our stores more as a ‘design pieces’ showcase than a ‘clothes container’. The latest opening, on May 28th, has been in Riccione, a city known for its great daytime beaches, and spectacular nighttime’s discos. The address is Viale Ceccarini 34, the main shopping and bar avenue. The shop opened just a few days before the opening of the shop in shop” of Forte Village in Sardinia and precedes the opening of ur Parisian Flagship store, but this is another story and will be another post…. Here’s a video, shot the day before and the day of the opening.

The Moon_The Ultimate Rock of Stone – La Pell del Ferro_Miquel Subiràs

We couldn’t exempt ourselves of being part of Milan’s excitement for the 50th anniversary of the Salone del Mobile. We decided to open our Milan showroom to three events that make us particularly proud. The collaboration with il–lacions, Stone Island presents the exhibition “La pell del ferro”, designed by Miquel Subiràs, and in this video you will see the exhausting but spectacular preparation that went into the set up of this event. Miquel himself “directed” the crane while positioning a 2.500 kg weight and 6 metre long iron table.

Furthermore, for the whole week, we are exhibiting our suggestive installation by Stone Island: “The Moon, The Ultimate Rock of Stone”. And as usual we are hosting our friends of the Italian magazine Velvet with their installation “Velvetissement”, where the editorial team invites visitors to design “the ideal city” on a big billboard. We wait for your visit!

Stone Island Sweatshirt – GIORGIO PETROSYAN vs ALEXANDER COSMO

Stone Island Sweatshirt - GIORGIO PETROSYAN vs ALEXANDER COSMO

MILAN, MARCH 12th 2011: GIORGIO PETROSYAN vs ALEXANDER COSMO

On March 12th, during the Oktagon competition at Milan’s Palasharp, Stone Island has entered the ring for the first time with our Giorgio Petrosyan, K1 World Champion 2009 and 2010.

His match against Brazilian champion Alexander Cosmo was the highlight moment of the international K1 session, and a tough one.
Cosmo, a big player in this discipline, belongs to a higher weight category than Giorgio (indeed he had to lose several kilograms to challenge our champion) and is at least 10 centimetres higher than him.

Knowing this, great was our emotion in seeing Giorgio win, at least as much as the tension throughout the fight. We hope to share with you at least part of these emotions through this video. Kudos to Giorgio!

The camouflage concept carried to its extremes. This is what the Ghost Pieces presented today stand for. As if they had been dipped into a tin of paint, everything in these jackets — including the badge with the Compass Rose in a special mono-colour version — is uniformed to one of the two absolute colours: either all white or all black. We will get back on this topic.
