STONE ISLAND is a fashion brand founded in 1982 in Lavarino, a suburb of Modena, Italy, by the legendary designer Massimo Osti.
We have developed a number of collections centered on sportswear that are both functional and stylish.

Since our founding, we have focused on the functionality and design of military wear, and have transformed them into "fashion items" faster than anyone else.

In 1989, the company developed the "Ice Jacket," which changes color depending on the temperature, and gained worldwide attention.
We use non-standard materials such as stainless steel and bronze to always advocate the latest styles.

Also, the word synonymous with Stone Island is "Garment Dye."

Garment dyeing is the name given to the dyeing process first created by Massimo Osti and his colleagues at C.P. Company in the early 1970s.
Usually garments are made using pre-dyed fabrics, but this process uses white or undyed fabrics and dyes them as a final step after the garment is fully tailored.

The dyeing technology of 60,000 colors, created through years of research, is an overwhelming technology that sets us apart from other brands.

Furthermore, we utilized a method called ``Double Dye in a Single Bath,'' which involves dyeing different compositions at the same time and applying different chemical approaches to each composition to create an impressive tone-on-tone color.
This method brought Massimo Osti even more attention.

Other famous brands handled by Massimo Osti include ``C.P. Company,'' ``Boneville,'' and ``Left Hand.''

Introducing a piece from Stone Island that was released in 1997 SS and was made using the world's first dyeing technique called "Garment Dye".

A wind rose patch is included that shows the "Green Edge" detail, which was used until the 1990s and is synonymous with archive items.
Green Edge is a badge whose outer frame is painted green, making it a rare item that is traded at a high price on the market.

Another nice feature is that the "PIECE N." label on the inside is intact and intact.

This item uses Stone Island's familiar "Lino Flax" blended fabric.
By blending "Flax", a raw material for linen, with a slight amount of polyamide, the fabric has not only the luster and lightness characteristic of linen, but also the strength characteristic of synthetic fibers.

The world's first dyeing technology, which was mentioned earlier, is applied to the lino-flux and cotton fabrics. By applying "garment dyeing", the depth and vibrancy of the colors stand out, and the characteristics of the material itself are brought out to the fullest.

When you first try wearing a garment-dyed item, you will get the impression that it has a mysterious power that enhances its beauty.
It has a vividness and presence that is difficult to express in words.

Garment dyeing has an overwhelming presence, but the design as an item is extremely simple.

The asymmetrical flap pocket placed on the left hem is an eye-catching item, and while it is practical for storing small items, it also functions as a design accent.

Furthermore, there are two vertical slits on the back, which are thought to be to prevent stuffiness, which increases the overall breathability of the jacket while creating a visually balanced design.
This slit is reminiscent of a game pocket, creating a fusion of tradition and modernity.

In addition, the hem has an adjustable belt with a button closure, so you can freely adjust the fit, so you can enjoy changing the silhouette depending on your style.

The front has a double layer structure with a button fastening.
The design is designed so that nothing but the top button is visible, giving it a more sophisticated and minimalist look.

The color is a slightly pinkish brown beige color.

The subtle color unevenness and gradation created by garment dyeing gives the entire jacket a sense of depth and three-dimensionality, allowing you to enjoy the complex and beautiful colors that look like a painting.

This pink-tinged brown-beige color is sure to catch the eye of anyone who sees it, making it a one-of-a-kind piece.

Additionally, this item is an "Made in Italy" item, which many people are probably looking for.
Around the 2000s, there are many items that are no longer made in Italy, so this is recommended for those who are particular about Italian products.

Size notation is "L"
I think it corresponds to "XL" in Japanese size.

Even if you look at the actual size, it will feel like a large size, so even people with large bodies can wear it without any problems.
I think it will look great whether you wear it as just the right size or oversized.

There are some signs of wear such as fraying, but I don't see any major damage that would make it difficult to wear, so I think it can still be worn.

Massimo Osti himself left the design in 1996, and his successor, Paul Harvey, developed this model with the "Green Edge".
Although it is not an individual from the so-called "Osty period", the simple yet sophisticated design beauty typical of Stone Island is still alive and well.

A perfect piece for your wardrobe or as a collection item.
If you are a collector who likes Stone Island, this is a great item to covet, so if you are looking for one, don't miss this opportunity.
