Italian luxury apparel label Stone Island has added the Garment-Dyed Crinkle Reps Down Jacket to its 2020 lineup, preparing consumers for the cold weather with a stylish statement piece.
The bright orange jacket is contrasted with black zippers, buttons, and branding—spotlighting a uniquely textured material that comes from the label's garment dying process. To get the look, Stone Island is said to have "formed the jacket’s outer shell with crinkle reps" to create the shell. The treatment of the material also makes the jacket resistant to water and wind, keeping wearers warm throughout the fall and winter months.
Stone Island's Garment-Dyed Crinkle Reps Down Jacket is available for purchase on the Goodhood web store, where it retails for £990.00.
