STONE ISLAND PROTOTYPE RESEARCH SERIES 03

STONE ISLAND PROTOTYPE RESEARCH SERIES 03 is dropping soon.

There’s a common misconception that Stone Island are technical clothing company. Whilst that is, in part, true, the reality is that they are first and foremost and brand focussed on fabric development and progression. With that in mind we have had a look at the latest instalment in a long list of industry firsts.

SERIES 03_EXTREME COMPACTING PROCESS ON NYLON BASE is a new fabric jumpsuit constructed from a mix of 4 polyamide based canvas fabrics, with different weights, compositions and shrinkages. The finished piece is then treated with a complex high-temperature dyeing process that colours, shrinks and compacts the materials from 0 to over 25%, re-proportioning the aesthetics thanks to Stone Island’s expertise in pattern making and to the know-how of its colour laboratory. The different reactions to the treatment characterizes the hand and the appearance of all fabrics used for the garment. The addition of a special agent to the dye formula makes the piece anti-drop.

The suit is comprised by a jacket and pant that can be worm separately or fastened at the waist with a zip. Referencing a Soviet era Flight Suit the items feature multiple pockets, Stone Island direct embroidery and drawstring fastenings.

The STONE ISLAND PROTOTYPE RESEARCH SERIES 03 is set to drop in a run of 100 PIECES on THURSDAY 10^th MAY at 3pm exclusively through the brands dedicated site . Have a look at the images below and CLICK THE BANNERS to keep an eye on the site…
