Stone Island Jackets: The Complete Guide
If Stone Island had to be summed up in a single piece, it would be the jacket. It is on jackets that the Italian brand built its legend, concentrating its most innovative fabrics and its most advanced expertise in them. Here is our guide to understanding the main families of Stone Island jackets and choosing the right one for you.
Why the jacket reigns supreme at Stone Island
The brand was born with a jacket in 1982: a model cut from the famous Tela Stella canvas, garment-dyed. Since then, every major innovation — from Raso Gommato to thermosensitive fabrics — has found expression on jackets first. The jacket is the natural showcase for the brand's textile research, whose origins we trace in the history of Stone Island.
The main families of Stone Island jackets
Windbreakers and lightweight jackets
Perfect for the in-between seasons, they favour lightweight nylons, often water-repellent, and close-fitting cuts. Easy to layer, they are an excellent way into the world of the brand.
The iconic technical jackets
This is the heart of the collection: jackets in Raso Gommato (coated cotton satin, matt and wind-resistant), in Nylon Metal (with a shifting metallic look) or in reflective fabrics. Each material has its own character — we review them all in our guide to Stone Island fabrics and technical innovations.
Winter jackets
For the colder months, the brand applies its expertise to insulated, quilted pieces. Find them in our dedicated collections: Stone Island down jackets and Stone Island parkas. And for layering, also consider Stone Island gilets.
What makes the difference on a Stone Island jacket
- The fabric: the handle, drape and depth of colour that come from garment dyeing, the brand's signature.
- The compass badge: sewn on the left sleeve and removable thanks to its two buttons — everything you need to know is in our article on the Stone Island compass badge.
- The finishing: quality zips, even stitching, functional hoods and adjusters inherited from military clothing.
How to choose your Stone Island jacket
Three questions are enough. For which season? A lightweight windbreaker for the in-between seasons, a technical jacket for autumn, a down jacket or parka for winter. For what use? An understated, versatile model for every day, or an iconic piece (Raso Gommato, Nylon Metal) to make a style statement. Which size? The cuts are generally fitted: check the measurements given on each of our product pages, measured flat on the actual piece.
New or pre-owned?
Stone Island jackets age remarkably well — one of the strengths of garment dyeing and technical materials. Authenticated pre-owned gives you access to rare or sold-out models at a reduced price. At NB08, every jacket goes through a full authentication process: badge, labels, fabric, finishing.
Frequently asked questions
What is Stone Island's most iconic jacket?
It is hard to single out just one: the Raso Gommato and Nylon Metal models are among the most recognisable, and thermosensitive pieces such as the Ice Jacket among the most spectacular.
Do Stone Island jackets run large or small?
The cuts are on the fitted side. The safest approach is to compare the measurements given on the product page (length, width) with a jacket you already own.
How do you care for a Stone Island jacket?
Always follow the care label: most coated materials prefer a gentle cold wash, with no tumble dryer and no direct ironing. Remove the badge before washing using its two buttons.
