Stone Island’s SS26 Metal Lamina Vest Gets Tested by Chito Vera
by Adriano Batista
Stone Island has released a piece from its Spring/Summer 2026 collection called the Metal Lamina Poly Ripstop utility vest. The vest is made from a recycled polyester micro ripstop fabric. The inside is laminated with an aluminium film. That lamination gives the polyester more structure, improves the garment’s insulation, and creates a slightly textured look on the surface.
The vest has a V-neckline. On the front, there are vertical zip flaps that open onto chest pockets lined with mesh. Those pockets fasten at the bottom with two snaps. There are also bellows hand pockets. The back has ventilation flaps with mesh lining. The Stone Island badge sits on the bottom left side. The front hem is angular. The vest closes with a two-way zip.
Professional mixed martial artist Chito Vera wears the vest as part of Stone Island’s “Community as a Form of Research” project. Check it out below:
