In Fall/Winter 2025, Stone Island continues to push the boundaries of fabric innovation, this time venturing into the alchemy of corrosion. The brand’s latest experiment takes nylon, a material defined by precision and control, and subjects it to a process that embraces imperfection, erosion, and time as design elements.
The centerpiece of this exploration, the 4100117 NYLON REPS-TC CORROSION TREATMENT, transforms the idea of outerwear into an evolving surface. It begins as a recycled nylon jacket with multiaxial quilting, then undergoes a meticulous blend of physical abrasion and chemical fading that partially strips away its dye. The result is a one-of-a-kind patina—a pattern that evokes Japanese indigo dyeing traditions while feeling unmistakably industrial. Each jacket becomes a singular artifact, its irregular textures a quiet celebration of impermanence and authenticity.
Behind the aesthetic lies Stone Island’s hallmark technical rigor. The jacket features an ultra-dense yet lightweight nylon shell, an internal resin coating for wind and water resistance, and PrimaLoft® insulation arranged in a multiaxial quilt that ensures thermal balance. Function is refined through architectural detailing—a V-neck opening, angled pockets, a contrast double placket, and an extended back hem designed for mobility. The brand’s iconic compass badge anchors the piece on the left sleeve, signaling innovation through legacy.
Worn by musician Isaac Hale, the jacket captures Stone Island’s ongoing fascination with the tension between control and chaos, where technology meets entropy.
