Product Information
Full details
This Stone Island Short Hooded Parka in Black is designed for adult males seeking a durable and comfortable outerwear piece with a technical aesthetic. Its key benefit lies in the brushed recycled nylon tela which offers a soft, cotton-like feel with nylon's inherent durability and water resistance, enhanced by a garment-dyed, anti-drop finish. A potential caveat is its regular fit, which may require careful consideration for those preferring a very tailored silhouette.

FAQs
What material is this parka made from?
The parka is made from a special brushed recycled nylon tela, offering a soft feel with the durability of nylon.
Is the parka waterproof?
The parka features an anti-drop finish for water repellency, making it suitable for light rain. It is not a fully waterproof garment.
How do I adjust the hood and hem?
Both the hood and hem are equipped with drawcords that can be tightened or loosened to achieve your desired fit and level of protection.
What is the purpose of the Stone Island badge?
The Stone Island badge on the left sleeve is a signature brand emblem, signifying authenticity and design heritage.
Can this parka be worn in warmer weather?
Yes, the two-way zip allows for ventilation, making it adaptable for transitional weather. However, it is primarily designed as outerwear for cooler conditions.
How should I clean the parka?
Always refer to the care label. Generally, it is recommended to machine wash cold with a mild detergent and air dry or tumble dry on low heat.
What does 'garment dyed' mean?
Garment dyeing means the jacket is fully assembled before being dyed. This process allows for richer, more nuanced color and can create unique variations.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax to the zipper teeth to help it glide smoothly.
Water repellency seems reduced
The anti-drop finish may need reapplication after significant wear or washing. Follow specific product instructions for re-proofing agents suitable for nylon.
Color appears uneven or faded
This can be a characteristic of garment dyeing. Ensure you are following the recommended washing instructions to maintain color integrity. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
