Stone Island Black Gradient Hoodie Quality Control Report
This detailed inspection covers the Stone Island Black Gradient Hoodie with Compass Patch, a premium streetwear piece known for its technical fabrics and distinctive branding. The hoodie features a subtle black-to-dark-gray gradient effect and the signature compass patch on the left sleeve.
Material & Construction
The outer shell uses Stone Island's characteristic nylon-cotton blend with a soft fleece lining. The fabric should have a substantial weight (approximately 800-900g) with no pilling or loose threads. Check that the gradient transition is smooth and consistent across all panels, with no abrupt color changes or dye inconsistencies.
Badge & Details
- Compass Patch: Inspect the embroidered compass logo on the left sleeve. The stitching should be clean with no loose threads. Colors must be accurate - typically black, white, and green details.
- Neck Label: Verify the Stone Island neck label is properly stitched with correct font and spacing. Authentic pieces have precise label placement.
- Drawstrings & Hardware: Check that the metal aglets on the drawstrings are securely attached and match Stone Island's specifications.
Sizing & Fit
Measure the garment flat and compare to the size chart. Stone Island typically uses European sizing. Key measurements to verify: chest width (pit-to-pit), length (collar to hem), and sleeve length. The hood should be proportionally sized with adequate depth.
Common Flaws to Watch For
- Inconsistent gradient application
- Misaligned compass patch placement
- Loose stitching on cuffs or hem
- Incorrect label font or material
- Fabric weight below expected standard
