4100080 TELA RESINATA BLOCK COLOUR
Jacket with concealed hood in Tela Resinata. This fabric takes inspiration from the resin treated ‘tela’ versions of the first Stone Island collections. The cotton canvas is colored on one side and impregnated with special pigmented resins in contrasting color on the other side. Double-sided material, both are used on the outside of the garment. Non-resin treated external parts that use an anti-drop agent. A consistent wash of the finished garment loosens the material for a délavé appearance.
