The Blue Liquid Reflective Coat by Stone Island is now available on My-wardrobe.com.

The distinctive ‘liquid finish’ is produced through a process where
thousands of microspheres (tiny glass balls), are sprayed onto the jacket,
which is then baked to set the colour and the reflective properties making
it flexible, durable and visible from up to 300m. The appearance of the
jacket is also subject to colour change depending on the temperature of
your environment ranging from mid-blue to snow white. The fabric
technologies and research are exclusive to Stone Island.
