Stone Island Down Parka and Gilet | Frosted Black
Stone Island clothing is renowned for its craftsmanship, attention to detail and unique fabric treatments and finishes. They’re certainly no strangers to making a statement, but they’ve truly outdone themselves with the latest drop from the Autumn/Winter 2017 collection, which includes a down-filled, outsized parka and gilet that sport a ‘frosted’ finish, giving a ‘just came home from an Arctic base camp’ look.
The one-of-a-kind finish is achieved starting with the choice of fabric, with both pieces utilising a lightweight nylon fabric with an ultra-tight, smooth weave. This is then garment dyed under high pressure to set the base colour, before being treated with powdered pigment dye to get that uneven, almost three-dimensional frost effect.
Elsewhere, technical features and unique design touches are prominently seen in both pieces: the parka features a wide array of pockets to keep your essentials secure, along with a removable, wool-felt hood liner to provide even more warmth; while the gilet has asymmetrical, tactical styling with two large chest pockets and smaller pockets to the rear shoulders. Both pieces also have a unique finishing touch, as that iconic Compass badge is also treated to the same frost effect to keep the aesthetic complete.
