How to Tell If a Stone Island Jacket Is Real: Expert Guide for UK Buyers
Share
Introduction
Stone Island is one of the most sought-after names in streetwear, but with its global popularity comes a major problem: fakes. Whether you're shopping online or in-store, knowing how to tell if a Stone Island jacket is real is critical. This 2025 guide is tailored for UK buyers who want to make sure they’re buying the real deal — not a cheap knock-off.
1. Use the Stone Island Certilogo Check
Every genuine Stone Island jacket made after 2014 includes a Certilogo tag — a unique 12-digit code you can enter at certilogo.com. This is the brand's official method of authentication. If the code checks out, you’re holding a real piece.
✅ Tip: Visit https://www.certilogo.com and enter the code or scan the QR tag inside your jacket.
2. Check the Stone Island Badge
The compass badge is the most recognisable feature of a Stone Island jacket — and the most commonly faked. Look for the following:
- Fine embroidery and clean stitching
- Two buttons with the Stone Island logo
- Yellow and green thread that is NOT overly bright or shiny
Beware of badges with sloppy stitching or overly thick borders. These are classic signs of a fake Stone Island jacket.
3. Real vs Fake Stone Island: Label Guide
Authentic Stone Island jackets have inner labels made from high-quality materials. Check for:
- Proper spelling and grammar
- A care label with Italian and other European languages
- A heat-pressed Certilogo label for models post-2014
Fake labels often include incorrect fonts, spelling mistakes, or poor-quality fabric tags.
4. Stitching Quality & Construction
Stone Island is known for high-level craftsmanship. Run your hands along the seams and inspect:
- Even, tight stitching
- Strong interior finish
- Premium-feeling outer fabric
Fake jackets will often have weak lining, loose threads, or uneven sewing.
5. Know the Retail Price Range
If a deal seems too good to be true — it probably is. A new Stone Island jacket usually ranges between £400 to £1,000 depending on the model. If you're being offered a ‘new’ piece for £150, it’s almost certainly fake.
6. Buy from Trusted Sellers in the UK
To avoid counterfeits, only buy from trusted sources like official retailers or verified resellers. **True Labels** sources directly from verified wholesalers in Italy, so you’re guaranteed 100% authenticity at a better price.
