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 coloured on one side and impregnated with pigmented resins in contrasting colour on the other. Double-sided material, both are used on the outside of the garment. Non-resin treated external parts use an anti-drop agent. A consistent wash of the finished garment loosens the material for a délavé appearance.
