Estimated early 1980s, a Navy Arctic Hooded Jacket by BONEVILLE.
BONEVILLE was established in 1981 by the legendary designer Massimo Osti.
Following the launch of his first brand, C.P. Company, Osti founded BONEVILLE as his second menswear line, channeling the fruits of his extensive research and experimentation. This brand preceded the establishment of his subsequent venture, STONE ISLAND, by one year.
BONEVILLE was created as a vessel for the prolific ideas and innovations that emerged from Osti's forward-thinking mind each season.
From its founding in 1981 through 1993, it set standards in men's fashion, pushing aesthetic and technical boundaries while contributing a rich tapestry to Massimo Osti's career.
Among the other notable brands under Massimo Osti's direction are STONE ISLAND, C.P. Company, and Left Hand.
We are pleased to present the Navy Arctic hooded jacket, born as a capsule collection in 1987 from BONEVILLE.
While BONEVILLE's broader collection spans from formal to casual pieces, the Navy Arctic collection is distinctly characterized by strong military elements—complete with naval arctic tags and badges—and features textiles engineered for active pursuits.
This particular example employs fabric with superior abrasion and water resistance, and bears a naval arctic badge on the left sleeve.
The collar is engineered to rise high enough to protect the chin, and a double-layered front closure demonstrates thoughtful functionality beyond mere aesthetics.
The structure effectively seals out external elements and retains interior warmth, making it notably warm to wear.
The front closure employs a double-breasted construction with both a zip fastener and button closure.
The zip slider features hardware by YKK.
The shell is constructed from a polyamide and polyurethane blend, lined entirely in cotton.
The shell fabric's superior abrasion and water resistance properties make this piece suitable for varied conditions and purposes.
The interior bears a C.P. Company label bearing the patina of its era.
A piece designed by Massimo Osti himself and manufactured in Italy—this is precisely what discerning collectors seek.
Size marked as 54
This corresponds approximately to XL to XXL in Japanese sizing.
The actual measurements indicate a generous fit suitable for larger frames.
With ribbed cuffs, those of smaller stature may wear it with gathered sleeves as well.
While the piece exhibits light wear and surface marks consistent with age, there are no significant damages that would compromise wearability. This remains a fully functional garment.
BONEVILLE has grown increasingly sought after in recent years, with prices rising accordingly.
The pieces bearing Massimo Osti's hand are singular in their quality—items rarely encountered elsewhere in the contemporary market.
This piece arrives infrequently to our stock. Those in pursuit of such work are encouraged not to overlook this opportunity.
