Haha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pair worn in the photos is the same model, but I used my personal pair for the shoot because I wanted to deliver yours with the Stone tag still attached.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey really are such a cool pair of pants, so please take a good look at the photos a few times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStone Island was born in '82, and their very first collection was made entirely using this fabric called \"Tela Stella.\" These pants are made from that fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI see jackets pop up occasionally, but this is the first time I've ever come across the pants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI'm not sure about the specific collection, but I believe it's from '82 or a collection immediately following it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince these are an expensive piece, I'll explain the fabric properly below, but first, I want to share my own impressions. I actually own five pairs of these \"Tela Stella\" pants personally, and I decided to keep one from this shipment to test out. The reason being, my other personal pairs aren't Stone Island; they're Boneville. While they were still designed by Massimo, I'm not sure if it's because of the brand difference, but the cotton blend ratio in this \"Tela Stella\" fabric feels slightly thicker in the Stone Island pair we just received compared to my Boneville ones. Just a tiny bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are incredibly comfortable to wear; they're light and have a crisp, high-density feel. They also dry unbelievably fast after washing. Haha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd as you break them in, they fade beautifully, I'm serious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey develop a kind of cracking fade in the high-stress areas. I hope I’m conveying this well, but it’s truly a fabric that lets you enjoy the aging process—the more you wear and wash them, the more character they develop. Bravo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are deadstock, so the inseam is long, but I always fold them up when I wear mine. Since it's a double-dyed fabric, the color on the inside is also really lovely—please check the photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelow, I'll briefly summarize the information documented in books.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eActually, the \"Tela Stella\" fabric was something Massimo first discovered at a company while working on a new material for a brand he was involved with in the 70s. It was a 100% cotton canvas originally intended for sunshades, and it was double-dyed. It had been returned to the company because it faded after washing, but at that moment, Massimo found it \"beautiful.\" He didn't see the fading or aging as a defect—quite the opposite, in fact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe was seemingly captivated by that kind of texture, viewing the wrinkling and fading as a value and a charm. After seeing the returned jacket, he decided to recreate it, took it to a different company, and went through various processing tests to replicate that exact feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn any case, he apparently put it through countless tests until he was satisfied. Haha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe material used back then was a canvas fabric with different colors on each side—one side red, the other green—that had been treated with a very heavy, intense wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is the exact fabric of the pants we have in stock now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are various color variations for garments made with this \"Tela Stella\" fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePersonally, I really love this colorway: green and navy. It's so stylish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt any rate, it's the signature fabric for Stone Island, and it's truly amazing. It's a fabric unique to Stone—or rather, to Massimo—so I think it's fair to call it one of a kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd back then, at the very first exhibition, these \"Tela Stella\" items sold so well that they were pulled from the market because production couldn't keep up with the demand. Haha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe wear them ourselves, and they're genuinely great. They get me excited, and they look cool no matter how you throw them on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you already know about them or not, I highly recommend them—I especially want to recommend them to anyone who hasn't bought Stone Island before, because these are truly iconic!!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis got long, but since it's so rare to be able to source this many at once, I recommend them from the bottom of my heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMade in Italy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWashed once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e※送料込み \/ Free shipping\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eModel height - 174cm man\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMaterial - Cotton90% \/ Copolymer10% \"Tela Stella\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSize - Fits mens W30\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMeasurement on flat - Flat measurements (cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWaist 78\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003ethe Rise 27\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003ethickness of thigh 35\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eInseam 96\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003ehem-width 21\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCondition - \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/span\u003e Dead Stock \/ \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eNew and unused\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TOTO.CZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50925300613463,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0513\/3097\/3881\/files\/IMG_7868_73e82f4a-9067-437a-b656-92522ff0ec20.jpg?v=1750084911","url":"https:\/\/totocz.com\/en\/products\/1980s-stone-island-tela-stella-trousers-dead-stock-w-5","provider":"TOTO","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
