Closer look at the Stone Island Ice Camo parka.
Really been procrastinating getting pics of this one up. Was trying to find a different look for the photos that would do justice for such an iconic piece, so settled on a vintage Osti style. Click below to see more pics.

Original Design 03: M1951 Parka
The M1951 Parka was developed as a flexible extreme cold weather solution for US Soldiers during the Korean war. More commonly know as the “Fishtail Parka”, it has been the inspiration for many Stone Island parka designs including the white label fur trimmed version to this season antique reflective. The iconic fishtail and diagonal pocket design make M1951 both an icon of fashion and military design, even 50 years after its creation. Click below to learn more about the M1951 Parka.
Original Design 02: M-1943 Field Jacket
When most people think field jacket, the M-65 usually is the first that comes to mind, but the modern day field jacket like the Stone Island A349 owes its design inspiration to the WWII M-1943 field jacket. A design so successful that military forces around the world still wear field jackets remarkably similar to it. Click below for the history of the M-1943.

Ever wonder where the design comes from? The AW ‘05 Stone Island 4A21 gets the honor of being the first of the “Original Design” features. The 4A21 is based off the design of the WWII M-1941 field jacket, believe it or not this design is over sixty years old and was one of the most widely worn jackets by US soldiers during WWII.
