Description

VENTILE_ GHOST PIECE
Ghost pieces are based on the concept of camouflage and are totally monochromatic. Even their Stone Island badges have been created in special monocolour versions to blend with the garment. Originally developed developed in wartime, Ventile is made in the UK from the finest 100% cotton long staple fibre. Although uncoated and non laminated, its high density weave, as well as the swelling properties of the fibre when wet, provide an excellent weatherproof barrier. Ventile is an entirely natural product that offers a unique level of comfort as well as being windproof, highly breathable and very durable. Ventile is still used today by the British Antarctic Survey, NATO pilots, and +8000 metre expeditions.
Two large flap-snap pockets. Drawstring on bottom hem edged with nylon tape. Adjustable tape at cuffs. Hood with visor. Collar fastened with nylon tapes. Hidden zip and button fastening.

Brand

A culture of research, experimentation, function and use are the matrixes that have always defined Stone Island: the sportswear brand with the iconic compass badge established in 1982 by the legendary Massimo Osti, designed to become a symbol of extreme research on fibres and textiles, applied to an innovative design. Season after season, it is through the study of form and the “manipulation” of the matter that Stone Island has found its own language with the aim of establishing new boundaries in the world of garment making. The study of uniforms and of work wear, its evolution according to new requirements of use, has become Stone Island’s observation post for defining a project in which the clothing item’s function is never just aesthetic. An ongoing investigation, thorough and without frontiers, on the processing and ennobling of fibres and textiles, leading to discover materials and production techniques never used before in the clothing industry. Jackets constructed in nylon monofilament, deriving from the water filtering technology. Highly reflective or thermo-sensitive fabrics, changing colour with the variation of temperature. Featherweight polyester cloth vacuum- coated with a 100% stainless steel film used in aviation technology to protect the on-board computers. Non-woven materials, Kevlar® and polyester felt, rhomboidal nets in polyester used in the construction industry and coated in polyurethane. These are some examples of materials conceived by Stone Island philosophy. Stone Island’s strength is also based on the unique ability to intervene on the finished item, through the continuous tests on dyeing and treatments carried out in the Sportswear Company’s laboratory of colour. A department able to combine advanced technology, experience and human capacity and that has developed more than 60,000 different recipes of dyes throughout the years. All the accumulated knowledge and experience, an inalienable heritage, on which great part of Stone Island’s know-how is based, is kept in the historical archive that collects the trial tests, and the recipes for textile dyeing and handling that have been developed by all those people who have worked on this project with passion.
