Stone Island clothing was designed using a unique combination of technologies and special processes creating some amazing jackets from the Stone Island reflective jacket this uses Special liquid reflective process coated with thousands of glass microspheres, each jacket is hand paint so not jacket is the same. Also another great jacket is the Ice jacket where the jacket morphs from one colour to another when exposed to temperatures - The colour changes at low temperatures. The molecules of the micro pigments in the external coating changes the direction of light and vary in tone depending on temperature the current 2011 season brings the heat reactive jacket where at room temperature looks a dark brown/black colour then as the heat and temperature rises the jacket changes into a bright green or a bright blue absolute cracker of a jacket and the time take to make these types of designs must be immense, Hats off to Massimo Osti – He is a true legend.
