FAQs
What makes this cotton canvas 'all-weather'?
The canvas is tightly woven using ultra-fine long cotton fibres. This dense structure, combined with the natural swelling properties of cotton when wet, creates an effective barrier against wind and light moisture without the need for synthetic coatings or laminations.
What does 'Ghost Piece' mean in the context of this jacket?
'Ghost Pieces' are part of Stone Island's concept of camouflage, where garments are entirely monochromatic. This includes the iconic Stone Island badge, which is rendered in a special, tone-on-tone version to blend seamlessly with the fabric.
Is the jacket waterproof?
The jacket is windproof and offers resistance to light rain due to its dense weave and fibre properties. However, it is not fully waterproof like garments with a technical coating or membrane.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from 100% organic cotton canvas.
How should I clean the jacket?
The jacket should be machine washed at 30 degrees Celsius. Avoid harsh detergents and bleach.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
This jacket is designed for transitional seasons and moderate weather. For very cold conditions, it is best layered over insulating garments like sweaters or heavier base layers.
What are the pocket features?
The jacket includes two flap chest pockets and two side slit pockets, offering practical storage options.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff after washing.
This can sometimes occur with natural cotton canvas. Ensure you are washing at the recommended temperature and consider air drying to minimize stiffness. Gentle ironing on a low setting might also help.
Color appears faded after multiple washes.
Verify that you are using a mild detergent and washing on a cold or 30-degree cycle. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight during drying can also contribute to fading; dry in the shade.
Zipper is difficult to operate.
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear and straight. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) applied to the zipper teeth can help lubricate it. Avoid forcing the zipper.
