Stone Island is bringing collectors a reversible Dyneema jacket to The Selfridges Corner Shop, part of its 'Prototype Research_Series.' It uses a dye-ready version of the ultra-strong, lightweight fiber, bonded to a performance membrane and backed with ultra-light nylon tela, so the piece carries a technical shell build with a color-treated finish.
Each jacket has seams sealed by hand with Dyneema tape, keeping the construction clean on both sides. Stone Island is making two batches of 50 jackets. The pieces use 50 formulas from its 'Color Laboratory.' Availability runs through Arco Maher at The Selfridges Corner Shop from October 12 to 20.
Availability at The Selfridges Corner Shop turns the jacket into a destination buy tied to a short retail window. The hand-sealed Dyneema build moves technical outerwear closer to fashion curation, where fabric engineering and scarcity shape the purchase together.
