Stone Island was set up by Italian designer Massimo Osti in 1982 as a secondary line or diffusion collection of his main CP Company label. Osti named the brand after the name of his boat. The brand was remarkable for specialising in surface treatment of fabrics and dyeing techniques. A feature of a Stone Island garment is the compass patch that buttons onto the upper sleeve of the left arm. Originally the patches were green edged, badges from around the year 2000 onwards became black edged. Also, there are the rarer 'white badges' which were originally made on certain jackets for the millennium. The white badge is still available on limited edition jackets.
