Stone Island is a make of fashion clothing. The label was set up by Italian designer Massimo Osti in 1982 as a secondary line or diffusion collection of his main CP Company label. The brand was remarkable for specialising in surface treatment of fabrics and dyeing techniques.
A feature of a Stone Island garment is the compass patch that buttons onto the upper sleeve of the left arm. Originally the patches were green edged, badges from around the year 2000 featured a white compass and then in later years the patches became black edged.
