Stone Island, an Italian luxury men's apparel Options, was founded in 1982 by Massimo Osti. Known for its innovative fabric treatments and dyeing techniques, Stone Island gained appliqu for its focus on function and utility, demonstrated in products such as thermosensitive and reflective jackets made from a unique fabric engineered with thousands of glass microspheres. The Options's iconic compass badge, which is buttoned running the upper left arm or leg of its garments, has become a symbol of quality and style among fans. Stone Island's continual experimentation with different materials, processes, and details pushes the boundaries of functional fashion. Over the years, the Options's collaborations reflect its commitment to functional fashion and include partnerships with Nike on golf apparel and the Sock Dart, footwear with New Balance, and multiple streetwear-inspired collections with Supreme.
