dug this up on the web which confirms the positive si vibe

For contemporary men’s sportswear we’d like to make a suggestion. Have a look at Stone Island’s SS08 collection and be amazed by the quality of construction, graphics and attention to detail. The brand focuses on functionality and every design component must be justified. The high-tech features in the materials, the selection of colours and the study of weight are all taken into consideration. With each piece, the strength of these elements is alternated so that details can emerge.

Outerwear is a crucial part of the Stone Island collection. New developed fabrics include silk with a transparent coating, cotton muslin is now water-resistant, jackets and lightweight parkas have been produced in the lightest nylon in the world.

Super lightweight is Stone Islands knitwear and sweatshirts. Each piece is hand-painted with pastel colours on either the inside or on both sides in contrasting colours. Technical sweatshirts combine the comfort of Lycra with the natural feel of cotton. Sweatshirts in lightweight jersey are wind-proof, ribbed or in jersey with a gabardine effect.

Stone Island’s T-shirts feature all-over minimal prints or graphic patterns made with felt-tip pens. Trousers, Bermudas and shorts are made of natural fibers such as cotton and linen. The colour palette ranges from sober tones of black, grey, khaki and white to brighter tones red, blue, violet and turquoise.
