Stone Island - 4100054 WAXED PIGMENT COTTON TELA - Coats & Jackets - Green - XL

The 'writing-effect' is a visual characteristic created by the pigmented wax coating applied to the fabric. It gives the garment a unique, textured appearance that can vary slightly, adding to its distinctiveness.

Store the jacket in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat, to prevent the wax coating from melting or degrading. Hanging is recommended to avoid creases.

The waxed coating provides resistance to light rain and moisture. However, it is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours. For heavy rain, a more waterproof garment would be advisable.

This indicates the fabric is a blend of cotton and polyester fibers woven into a sturdy canvas weave. This combination aims to offer the comfort and breathability of cotton with the durability and wrinkle-resistance of polyester.

This jacket is best suited for spring and autumn due to its wind and moderate water resistance. It can be layered over warmer clothing for cooler winter days but may not provide sufficient insulation on its own in very cold weather.

Refer to the size chart provided by Stone Island for specific measurements. The model wearing the jacket typically provides a good visual reference for fit. Ensure your measurements align with the garment's dimensions for a comfortable fit.

This is a natural characteristic of the waxing process, intended to create a unique 'writing-effect'. If it bothers you, try gently warming the area with a hairdryer on a low setting and smoothing with a soft cloth. For significant issues, consult professional care.

The stiffness is likely due to the removal of some wax. You can restore some suppleness by gently warming the jacket with a hairdryer on a low setting or by having it professionally re-waxed. Avoid excessive heat.

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is not caught. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth and run the zipper up and down several times to smooth its operation.

The waxed pigment may transfer, especially when new or wet. Avoid prolonged contact with lighter-colored clothing until the jacket has been worn and handled appropriately. Professional cleaning may help set the dye if transfer is a significant concern.
