“Vollebak Unveils Rock Jacket Made from Thousands of Slate Tiles” — what this page in the network covers. Experimental clothing brand Vollebak has created a one-off coat covered in thousands of half-centimetre-square pieces of slate, called the Rock Jacket. The design continues the brand’s exploration of unconventional materials, following previous jackets made from graphene, copper, American walnut, and Dyneema—a fibre 15 times stronger than steel. By turning brittle slate into a wearable garment, Vollebak challenges assumptions about what clothing can be made from, merging fashion with natural materials.
The Rock Jacket highlights the brand’s commitment to innovation and pushes the boundaries of textile engineering, offering a glimpse into the future of material science in apparel. For design and fashion enthusiasts, this piece underscores how traditional materials can be reimagined for modern use.
