Supreme x Stone Island Pocket Tee
Supreme vs. Original
Supreme version
About the original
Stone Island was founded in 1982 by Massimo Osti in Ravarino, Italy and built its reputation on experimental fabric research — nylon metal, reflective coatings, and ice thermosensitive polymers — alongside a signature garment-dyeing process at its Bologna dye house. The Pocket Tee is a garment-dyed cotton jersey short-sleeve tee with a single chest pocket and Stone Island's Compass Rose badge affixed to the left sleeve with the brand's two-button fastening, using the same construction as the brand's core tee line. The SS19 Supreme version carries co-branded labeling; the fabric treatment, cut, and sleeve patch remain Osti's original specification.
