FAQs
What does 'David Light-TC' refer to?
David Light-TC is the proprietary fabric used by Stone Island. It's made from Japanese star-shaped cross-section polyester/polyamide yarns, resulting in a lightweight yet durable material with a unique hand-feel.
What does 'Garment Dyed' mean for this jacket?
Garment dyeing means the jacket is fully constructed first, and then dyed in its final form. This process, especially under pressure and heat, deeply infuses the color and significantly transforms the material's texture and structure, giving it a unique depth of color and feel.
Is the jacket completely waterproof?
The jacket features an 'anti-drop' finish, which makes it water-repellent, meaning it can resist light rain and splashes. However, it is not designed to be fully waterproof like a dedicated rain jacket for heavy downpours.
What are 'Ghost Pieces'?
'Ghost Pieces' are a Stone Island concept focusing on camouflage through monochromatic design. These garments are entirely tonally uniform, including the iconic Stone Island badge, allowing them to blend seamlessly.
How do I best maintain the color of my jacket?
To maintain the color, always wash the jacket in cold water by hand, separately from other garments. Avoid bleach and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Professional dry cleaning is also recommended.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
It is strongly recommended to hand wash the jacket in cold water. Machine washing, especially with high spin cycles or heat, can damage the fabric and the integrity of the garment dyeing process.
What is the sizing like for this jacket?
The jacket is designed for adult males. It's advisable to consult the specific size chart provided by Stone Island for this model, paying attention to measurements like chest, length, and sleeve length, as sizing can vary between brands and styles.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears faded or discolored.
This can occur with improper washing or prolonged sun exposure. Adhere strictly to cold water hand wash instructions and store away from direct light. If significant fading has occurred, professional re-dyeing might be an option, but results may vary.
Water repellency is reduced.
The anti-drop finish may diminish over time and with wear. Consider using a technical fabric re-proofer spray designed for outerwear, following the product's specific application instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before applying any treatment.
Snaps are difficult to fasten or unfasten.
Ensure the snaps are aligned correctly before attempting to fasten. If they feel stiff, gentle, consistent pressure is key. Avoid forcing them, which could damage the fabric around the snap. Check for any debris obstructing the snap mechanism.
Material feels stiff after washing.
This can be a characteristic of the David Light-TC material after washing. Gently stretching the fabric while damp or low-temperature ironing (inside out) can help restore some suppleness. Ensure you are not using harsh detergents.
