Stone Island Engineering and Garment Dyeing Expertise Heat-Transfer Print T-Shirt - Compass Badge Back, Coordinates Front

Double-Yarn Plain-Weave Cotton T-Shirt. Heat-Transfer Print at Front Chest and Full Back. Two Colours: White / Black.

A Stone Island T-shirt in custom double-yarn plain-weave cotton, carrying two distinct heat-transfer print applications: a compact multi-element logo composition at the front chest, and a large circular compass badge print centred on the full back panel. Both prints are executed in the same single-colour, high-contrast ink — black on White, white on Black — and the garment carries no embroidery, no woven patches, and no additional surface treatment beyond the two print placements.

Front Chest Print — Three-Element Stacked Composition

The front chest carries a three-element stacked heat-transfer print positioned at centre-chest, set at a compact scale that reads as a deliberate brand mark rather than a graphic statement piece. The three elements, reading top to bottom, are:

Element 1 — Compass Star + Wordmark: A four-point compass star (two long horizontal arms, two shorter vertical arms, sharp tapered tips) sits above and slightly inset into the wordmark. Directly below the star, the full all-caps wordmark STONE ISLAND is set in a bold, regular-weight sans-serif typeface — wide letter-spacing, consistent stroke weight, no inline star or decorative interruption in the word spacing at this placement. Together, the compass star and wordmark form a compact signature read that resolves clearly at arm’s length.

Element 2 — Rectangular Brand Statement Box: Immediately below the wordmark, a thin-line rectangular border box contains three lines of upper-case text in a smaller weight:

ENGINEERING AND
GARMENT DYEING
EXPERTISE

This phrase is a Stone Island brand identity statement referencing the house’s founding technical specialisation in fabric engineering and garment-dye processes. The text is set tightly within the rectangle, with the border lines running flush to the edge of the longest line of text on each side.

Element 3 — GPS Coordinates Box: Below the brand statement rectangle, a second smaller thin-line rectangular border box contains two lines of text in a condensed monospace-style typeface:

44° 43′ 23.744″ N
11° 07′ 8.504″ E

These coordinates identify the precise geographic location of the Stone Island headquarters in Ravarino, Modena, Italy — a recurring reference across Stone Island’s archival and heritage-referencing print series. At viewing distance the coordinates read as a technical data field, consistent with Stone Island’s material-science and research-oriented brand language.

Back Print — Large Circular Compass Badge

The full back panel carries the dominant graphic of the garment: a large circular compass badge print centred on the back panel, approximately occupying one third of the total back area from the shoulder blades to the mid-back. The badge is composed of two concentric elements:

Outer Ring — Circular Text Band: A thin outer circle encloses a circular text band in which the words STONE ISLAND arc along the upper half of the circle (reading left to right, baseline toward the centre) and STONE ISLAND arc again along the lower half of the circle (reading right to left, baseline toward the centre — effectively inverted), so that the full circular band reads as a continuous repeated loop of the brand name at all orientations. The text is set in a bold, compact all-caps letterform, well-spaced to fill the arc of each half-circle evenly.

Centre — Four-Point Compass Star: The interior of the ring is dominated by a large four-point compass star with two long horizontal arms and two shorter vertical arms, rendered as a solid filled form with the four quadrants between the arms filled in solid ink. The star sits at the exact geometric centre of the badge and fills the interior circle fully, touching or nearly touching the text ring on its horizontal axis. At full back-panel scale, the compass star reads as a bold, clean geometric symbol with strong visual impact at distance.

On the Black colourway, the entire back badge is printed in white ink on black ground, with the filled star and text band reading in maximum contrast. On the White colourway, the badge is printed in black ink on white ground, with equivalent contrast. Both colourways carry the same badge construction; the colourway inversion produces no change in the badge’s structural composition.

Fabric

The body is constructed in a custom double-yarn plain-weave cotton. At close range, the fabric surface shows a smooth, high-density plain-weave structure with a slight optical brightness and very low surface texture variation — consistent with a double-yarn construction in which the increased yarn weight produces a compact, stable weave that sits denser than standard single-yarn jersey. The fabric has a composed, non-stretchy drape and maintains its silhouette without distortion. The interior construction, visible at the folded hem, confirms a double-layer-equivalent thickness at the seam fold: the fabric body is substantial without being heavy, sitting in the mid-to-upper weight range for a summer T-shirt.

The sleeve hem is finished with a multi-needle parallel stitch hem (three to four parallel stitch lines visible at close range), producing a clean, reinforced finish at the sleeve opening. The body hem is finished in the same multi-needle manner. There is no side slit. The crew neckline has a ribbed neckband, approximately 2 cm wide, with a visible vertical rib structure. The rear neckline carries a woven Stone Island label.

Two Colours

White — optical white double-yarn cotton; all prints in black ink; front chest composition and back compass badge at maximum contrast on white ground.
Black — deep uniform black double-yarn cotton; all prints in white ink; front chest composition and back compass badge in white on black ground.
