Constructed from a PVC-treated Dutch-rope shell fabric — a densely woven, coated textile that delivers a characteristic waxy, semi-lustrous hand-feel with inherent weather resistance — the parka is presented in a warm \u003cstrong\u003ebeige\u003c\/strong\u003e colourway that contrasts subtly with the lighter sage-toned hood lining visible at the brim. The silhouette is deliberately oversized and elongated in true \u003cstrong\u003eAW-1987\u003c\/strong\u003e fashion, featuring a full-length central zip closure, a voluminous structured hood with snap-button storm brim and drawcord adjustment, and twin large patch-and-flap lower pockets secured with press-studs. Elasticated cuff detailing and quilted rib-effect finishing at the hem and sleeve openings add construction depth, while the iconic Stone Island compass badge — here in its period-correct form — is mounted to the left sleeve, confirming this garment's provenance within one of the most significant eras in the brand's archive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a sample prototype from \u003cstrong\u003eAutumn\/Winter 1987\u003c\/strong\u003e, this piece exists entirely outside of Stone Island's standard production run — no ART number was ever assigned, and no retail equivalent was released in this exact configuration, making it a true one-of-a-kind collector's artefact from the Osti era. Pieces of this nature surface extraordinarily rarely and represent the very foundation of Stone Island's design language. Graded at \u003cstrong\u003e8\/10 — Excellent Used\u003c\/strong\u003e, this prototype presents remarkably well for its age, retaining strong structural integrity across the shell fabric with only the most minor age-commensurate patina consistent with a nearly four-decade-old sample garment.\u003cp\u003eSKU: 1834 \/ XLG\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stone Island","offers":[{"title":"XLG","offer_id":57514019357045,"sku":"1834","price":899.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0936\/0284\/0949\/files\/1834_6.png?v=1787235351","url":"https:\/\/evo-island.com\/products\/stone-island-aw-1987-sample-prototype-dutch-rope-pvc-parka-beige","provider":"Evo-Island","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
