This Isn’t a Suede Stone Island Jacket, It’s a Technical Marvel
Highsnobiety is a global fashion and media brand passionate about product and the stories that shape them.
Stone Island Ghost has released a new suede jacket for Spring/Summer 2025. Or, at least, that’s how it appears at first glance.
The premium diffusion line, where every garment is rendered in a single color (even down to the signature Stone Island compass badge), has debuted a new fabric for Stone Island, produced by fellow Italian company Alcantara.
A technically engineered suede-like material, Alcantara is lighter and more hard-wearing than real suede. It is often used by car manufacturers to produce interiors, including the likes of Lamborghini and BMW.
For its debut Stone Island products, Alcantara appears on a field jacket and a Harrington-style jacket available now from Stone Island (retailing for $1,855 and $1,655, respectively).

Not the first time Stone Island has toyed with ways to make leather outerwear more technical, earlier this year it debuted Light Leather Organza: a super thin layer of lambskin leather combined with superlight polyester organza.

Seemingly, good old natural leather doesn’t fit into Stone Island’s technically advanced world.
