Technical + Innovative
Italian menswear fashion label Stone Island was established in 1982 by Carlo Rivetti. Recognized mainly through its iconic compass logo patch, the brand emphasizes innovative fabrics and technology inspired by military aesthetics. Stone Island has remained a staple within the UK's street style culture, having gained a cult following in Europe from the very beginning. The brand's compass arm logo patch became synonymous with its commitment to boundary-pushing technology and innovation that suited the casual movement of the UK's taste seamlessly. All long-lasting and functional, unique dying processes and textiles make up each collection. Stone Island is most well-known for its selection of technical outwear, including jackets, puffer jackets, parkas, hoodies, and a wide selection of cargo pants, t-shirts, knitwear, and headwear. Visually striking and highly technological, the label embodies authentic military-inspired design language into each collection and delivery.
Celebrating its 40-year celebration, Stone Island introduces its Spring/Summer 2022 collection. These new arrivals express concepts from the label's deep archive with fresh inspiration, such as natural and soft colors contrasting with intense and vibrant accents. Maintaining their technical motivation, the Spring/Summer 2022 collection from Stone Island contributes a wide variety of apparel and headwear perfect for transitioning between the new seasons. These offerings include their iconic field jackets, hooded jackets, cargo pants, swim shorts, sweatpants, hooded sweatshirts, crewneck sweatshirts, t-shirts, joggers, and more.
Stone Island's Hooded Jacket 40223 is an essential outwear item to incorporate into your new seasonal wardrobe. Crafted from a polyamide, nylon, and polyester blend, this highly technical silhouette makes a statement. The shape has been treated with a resin coating, providing long-lasting and durable components. Garment-dyed and featuring a membrane bonding with water-resistant components, the Stone Island jacket assists with the transition to the warmer months while protecting you during unpredictable weather. The compass logo patch, patch pocket, snap fastenings, and hand pockets tie together this functional item. With that, a selection of headwear is also featured in the Spring/Summer 2022 delivery. The Stone Island Hat 99475 highlights premium qualities with its acrylic and wool blend, offering a breathable yet comfortable experience. A raised and embroidered Stone Island compass logo is placed at the face, while the curved brim supports that component. At the rear is a distinct magnetic strap closure, offering a highly technical and premium finish.
Stone Island is well-versed in delivering functional, technical, and military-inspired garments that contribute to its long-lasting legacy. This aspect is highly present in the Stone Island Cargo Pants 31303. Cargo pants are a Stone Island staple, making them a must-have for any collection. The cargo pants incorporate a highly comfortable and elevated blend of cotton, elastane, and spandex, resulting in its unique aesthetics. The silhouette has been garment-dyed and treated with a resin coating, resulting in its durable aesthetic and bold hue. Made for a regular and tapered fit, the hidden zipper fastenings that access the back and side pockets allow you to keep your belongings close. The elasticized waistband includes an inner drawstring, while the zipper fly provides security. The iconic Stone Island compass logo patch completes the military-inspired look.
An essential apparel item to incorporate into your wardrobe is the perfect everyday tee, and Stone Island provides that in this new collection. The Stone Island Short Sleeve T-Shirt is composed of authentic cotton and spotlights a signature ribbed neckline. The iconic compass logo patch is placed at the chest, which offers a premium finish to the overall aesthetic. Perfect for the warmer weather, the Stone Island Swimming Trunks B0943 features a blend of polyamide and nylon, contributing to the ideal aesthetic. Slanted hand pockets allow you to keep your belongings close while on the move, while the single rear pocket and hidden zipper fastening accentuate that aspect.

Ideal for unpredictable weather, which is likely during the warmer months, the Stone Island Field Jacket 40532 is another item worth mentioning within this collection. Of course, spotlighting the compass logo patch at the sleeve, the anti-drop silhouette protects you with its standing collar and concealed hood. The bright hue is thanks to its garment-dyed aesthetic along with its distinct resin coating. The elasticized drawstring at the hood provides a functional touch, while the hand pockets and chest pockets allow you to keep your belongings close during all types of activity. The technical and aesthetically-military jacket incorporates a two-way zipper fastening for optimal security.
