Stone Island heritage, the world of sportswear and the military environment, investigated from various angles to create new “hybrids” for function and use.
References to British-style outdoor wear can be found in the collection. Iconic garments have been reworked and brought up to date in terms of style and choice of colour to satisfy new everyday needs.
The language of safety work garments inspired the Reflective Jacket in '991. Now a reflective coating made up of thousands of micro glass balls has been hand sprayed onto the finished garments, creating an uneven liquid effect on the surface.
The Ice Jacket was launched for the first time in '989. A liquid crystal coating causes a chromatic change in relation to changes in temperature from hot to cold and vice versa.

Waxed Ice_ the version in waxed cotton with a detachable felt “helmet” changes from silver blue, beige or army green to a darker shade.
In rubberised cotton muslin bonded to a transparent polyurethane film that makes them water resistant.
Parkas, vests, bomber jackets and reversible jackets in ultra-light nylon and waxed leather are light as a feather and padded with goose down.
