STONE ISLAND SS25 TRAINING
A special training session at Pockets in Shrewsbury with Stone Island representative Tommy Harkess.
At Pockets it’s always an honour and a pleasure to bring our team together, especially at our flagship Pockets menswear store in Shrewsbury. Renowned for its curated selection of premium brands, the store recently hosted a special training session with Stone Island representative Tommy Harkess.
“Having direct access to this level of expertise is a privilege,” said Paul Platt, owner of Pockets, as Tommy guided our team through the latest Stone Island Spring/Summer 2025 collection. “We take pride in ensuring our customers can rely on us for in-depth product knowledge and a real understanding of the story behind every piece they invest in.”
The training session focused on Stone Island Spring/Summer 2025 campaign, with a particular emphasis on:
The brand’s revolutionary fabric technologies, including its latest innovation: UV-reactive knitwear. This remarkable material changes colour when exposed to direct sunlight - an innovation also applied to outerwear, creating truly standout pieces.
At Pockets, we believe this spirit of innovation cements Stone Island as a leader in global menswear. As one of the few remaining independent retailers in the UK, we take pride in offering our customers access to the most exclusive and forward-thinking designs.
These training sessions deepen our understanding of Stone Island’s “Life and Lab” philosophy — the foundation of its craft. As the session concluded, Tommy highlighted the brand’s enduring commitment to heritage, innovation, and partnership with independent retailers like Pockets.
