About the Brand
Stone Island is an Italian luxury men's apparel brand founded in 1982 by Massimo Osti. It is best known for its compass patch on the left arm and its extensive research into fibers and textiles, creating innovative "heat-responsive" and reflective fabrics.
The brand has achieved a cult-like status among "terrace" culture in Europe and streetwear enthusiasts globally. Now owned by Moncler, Stone Island continues to push the boundaries of technical outerwear and experimental garment dyeing techniques.
