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 colour 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 colour 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 fibres 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 colour 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.
