Stone Island & GORE-TEX Team Up Again

There are very few brands that can rival Stone Island in the fabric department. One brand that certainly comes close though, or indeed meets the brand’s same superlative standards, is GORE-TEX. Yes, the Italian label has pretty much met its match when it comes to material pioneer GORE-TEX. Both brands operate on a basis of unbridled innovation, meaning creativity in-house is boundless and this definitely shows within each’s final products.

In a brilliant move for the menswear realm, Stone Island and GORE-TEX have teamed up and opted to unite their respective genius. Sure to be music to the ears of every Stone Island aficionado worldwide, this latest collaboration gifts us all a portion of cutting-edge clobber. You just love to see it!

One of the standout products from the collection is the Stone Island GORE-TEX Paclite® Nylon Metal Jacket, which we’re very proud to stock here at Aphrodite. As you would expect with any Stone Island item, this one has had the heart and soul of the brand’s design team poured into it. Wholly complex, the outerwear style comprises three separate parts – a smock-like outer, a warming down gilet and a harness-esque crossbody bag (which the jacket packs neatly away into).

Thanks to the edge of GORE-TEX, the shell of the Stone Island GORE-TEX Paclite® Nylon Metal Jacket is waterproof, windproof and coated with an anti-drop finish. The addition of Paclite® technology is also beneficial – it ramps up the lightweight nature of the design, making it more breathable and easier to pack down. The internal vest is filled with fluffy down to ensure optimal thermal capacity while the nylon metal membrane supplies a subtle sheen to the surface. When you’re ready to take the jacket off and secure it, you’ll find a compass-bearing compartment, which doubles up as the jacket’s core, where you can utilise certain zips and a multitude of straps to buckle the bag onto your upper body.

While we’ve tried our best to give you a full rundown of the Stone Island GORE-TEX Paclite® Nylon Metal Jacket’s composition, we don’t think anything quite beats seeing this one up close in person, where you can truly get to grips with its complex construction. If you’re local, why not pop down to the store and see it for yourself? You can also view the silhouette online here.

Stone Island Crinkle Reps Technical Fabric

What To Know About Stone Island Crinkle Reps Fabric

Stone Island has been an inescapable part of UK street style for decades. The Italian label was first established in 1982, in the Modena era, by the creative genius Massimo Osti and within a year, Carlo Rivetti came onto the scene. Perhaps the most important element of a Stone Island jacket is the removable badge, normally found on the left side of the garment. Different variations of the badge appear on different products and they denote different aspects of the brand. Most commonly, there is the standard badge, decorated in a yellow and green compass rose design and remains unchanged since the brand’s debut.

Crinkle Reps Fabric Composition:

One of Stone Islands’ cutting-edge, tech-driven fabrics includes Crinkle Reps. Named after its appearance, Stone Island Crinkle Reps jackets are crafted from lightweight nylon reps with an ultra-tight weaving construction that is garment-dyed. A resin coating is applied to the inside, offering wind and mild water resistance. Due to uneven penetration, the color bursts evenly across the material, giving a crinkly effect while also giving the surface a blurred, marbled appearance. This makes each garment unique, having every piece individually designed. Further color hues are brought out of the Crinkle Reps fabric thanks to a special agent that makes the garment anti-drop. Typically, the Crinkle Reps fabric is injected with the finest feathers which assist in making the garment dying easier.

Season after season, Stone Island has made new boundaries when it comes to garment making. It is an ongoing investigation for the brand to discover materials and production techniques that have not yet been used in the clothing industry. LAB is the constant investigation into the transformation and enhancement of fibers and fabrics, and it is from here where many Stone Island projects are born. Whether its features such as water-resistant technology or garments that change color with the temperature, Stone island has created some of the best materials and techniques there is in fashion, and the Crinkle Rep fabric is no exception.

Our Favourite Stone Island Crinkle Reps Jackets:

The self-produced materials are something that makes every Stone Island collection unique and like no other. With over 60,000 dye recipes, the Crinkle Rep fabric is just one of many materials that we love here at Aphrodite and a personal favorite is the Crinkle Reps NY Jacket in Violet. Preparing you for the unpredictable months ahead, this practical Stone Island jacket is made from the brand’s classic Crinkle Reps fabric with a garment-dyed purple hue that creates a crinkled effect, complete with water and wind-resistant features as well as PrimaLoft filling for extra insulation. A full-length zip fastens the front allowing you to choose the best level of ventilation and styling, whilst zip chest pockets bring personal storage. Finished with straight hems for a sporty feel, I’m sure you can see why this is one of our favorites.

If you’re after something more monochrome, another favorite when it comes to the iconic crinkle reps fabric is the Crinkle Reps NY Down jacket. Delivering functionality backed by a well-insulated design, this crinkle reps jacket features elasticated bindings across the cuffs, and a classic hooded collar, whilst the full-length zipper fastening is complemented by black taped seams for a sleek and well-defined finish. Two practical zip-secured side-seam pockets provide ample on-the-go storage to suit, whilst the monochrome Stone Island badge to the left arm helps bring a touch of added depth to this luxury jacket.

And last but not least, we couldn’t forget to mention the Crinkle Reps NY Jacket in Ochre. Water and wind-resistant, crafted in resin-coated quilted crinkled nylon taffeta, this long-sleeved piece is tailored to a padded design to provide a highly insulative layer of protection regardless of setting. With tonal webbing trim throughout, a bungee-style drawstring at the hood, a full-length two-way zip fastening with a high rise collar.

An Ode To The Stone Island Overshirt

A constant resident of the upper echelons of really nice clothes, a Stone Island overshirt is for many some of the most highly regarded pieces of clobber one can get their hands on. Lauded for their countless array of stellar talking points, mind-boggling visuals and sharp cuts, they provide the trans-seasonal keys to casual wardrobe elevation. But, before we dive straight into the compliments it’s worth taking a look back at where exactly this half-shirt half-jacket hybrid originated.

Timeless, smart but tough enough to handle the rigors of a hard days graft, the overshirt was originally designed as a layering piece to go over the top of suits and ties. Famed for its plethora of handy pockets and uncomplicated design the ‘shackets’ were often constructed using more robust materials such as sturdy cotton twill and moleskin.

Becoming the go-to garment for easygoing functionality the overshirt quickly found itself on the backs of everyone from tradesmen and French Railway workers to British soldiers during the Second World War. More recently the garments have made somewhat of a resurgence in the modern man’s everyday wardrobe, slotting seamlessly into contemporary trends such as Scandinavian minimalism and workwear-inspired tailoring.

So where does Stone Island fit into all of this? Well, not only do we just love talking about everyone’s favourite Italian sportswear company, but when it comes to totally unique overshirts they certainly know a thing or two. Utilising their penchant for unique fabric blends, the brand continues to put out overshirts in just about every shape and size imaginable, including, but not limited to, Crinkle Reps NY, nylon metal, naslan light, cotton garbadine, brushed cotton twill, tella stella… we think you get the idea.

Not only do these ingenious pairings provide a super functional outer shell to give you that little bit extra protection, but they provide a perfect base for Stone Island’s garment-dyeing wizardry and bespoke treatments to shine. With shades spanning everything from soft blush pink to punchy neons, iridescent, reflective and thermal reactive coatings deliver eye-catching notes whilst the brand’s OLD effect and in-house mixed dyed, give that classic worn-in look everyone can’t get enough of.

With enough pocket variations and smart detailing to please even the most function-obsessed compass patch fan out there, get your hands on a Stone Island Overshirt of your own before it’s too late.
