Stone Island is an Italian premium men's apparel brand from Ravarino famous for its compass patch that buttons on the upper sleeve of the left arm.

Massimo Osti (b. 1944; † 2005) started his first label C.P. Company in 1974. Stone Island was set as a secondary line or diffusion collection of his main tag. The brand specialized in surface treatment of fabrics and dyeing techniques. The business was bought by GFT in 1983, Osti abandoned in 1994, it is now run by Carlo Rivetti.

Originally the spots were green edged, badges from 2000 onwards became black edged. There are a run of rarer 'white badges' which were originally made on certain jackets to celebrate the millennium. The white badge is currently evident on coats which use materials that Stone Island develops themselves in-house. Novel jacket designs include the "Liquid Reflective" coat, that uses thousands of small shards of glass which reflect to light.

In the late 1990s the make has been popular among football enthusiast 'casuals' in England and throughout the rest of Europe. [2] The brand can also be seen in many soccer hooliganism based films, such as Green Street Hooligans and The Football Factory.

The Stone Island mens collection covers all of your wardrobe needs. Known for their innovative approach Stone Island continue to bring fresh ideas to mens fashion.

Stone Island was formed in 1982 by Art Director Massimo Osti because his passion for textile finishes and interest in clothing dyes, the brand now has its own colour lab and has developed over recipes.
