Stone Island Mid-Length Utility Cotton Shorts with Elasticated Waist and Compass Badge

Mid-Length Utility Shorts. Lightweight Cotton. Elasticated Drawstring Waist. Multi-Pocket. Compass Badge. Three Colours.

A Stone Island mid-length utility short in a lightweight cotton or cotton-blend — a smooth, flat-woven fabric with a slight surface sheen and a clean drape that sits between a technical shell and a conventional cotton chino in weight and handle. The fabric is light enough for warm-weather wear while maintaining a structured enough silhouette to hold its shape through the leg and at the knee. The construction is utility-oriented throughout, with a multi-pocket layout and a functional waistband system designed for ease of movement and adjustability.

The waist is finished with a wide elasticated waistband with a contrast drawstring threaded through the centre front — a combined elastic-and-drawstring closure that allows the waist to be adjusted without a belt and provides a secure, adaptable fit across the waist range. The front body carries two angled slash pockets at each side for everyday hand carry. Additional side utility pockets are set into the outer leg panels, extending the carry capacity in keeping with the utility orientation of the construction. The leg opening is finished with a narrow folded hem. The shorts fall at approximately mid-thigh to just above the knee, reading as a classic five-pocket length rather than a longer cargo or below-the-knee format.

The Stone Island compass rose badge is sewn to the right outer leg on all three colourways, in the standard yellow-green on black ground.

Silver (Ice Grey / Light Silver-Grey)

A very pale ice grey or light silver-grey — a cold, near-white grey without warmth or blue saturation, reading as clean and understated across the lightweight cotton surface. The slight surface sheen of the fabric gives the pale ground a faint luminous quality in direct light. The elasticated waistband and pocket openings read as structural relief elements against the pale base. The yellow-green compass badge on black ground at the outer right leg provides the primary colour accent. The lightest and most season-forward of the three colourways.

Gray (Dark Slate Grey / Military Grey-Green)

A deep dark slate grey with a subtle green or olive undertone — closer to a military grey-green or dark khaki grey than a neutral mid-grey. The colour reads as a muted, earthy dark at distance, with the green undertone becoming more apparent in natural or warm light. The drawstring, pocket construction, and leg hem are all tonal against the dark grey ground. The yellow-green compass badge on black ground provides a strong colour accent against the muted base.

Black (Deep Navy-Black)

A very deep navy-black — not a flat neutral black, but a dark tone with a distinct deep blue undertone that reads as near-black in most lighting conditions and reveals a navy quality in strong direct light. The lightweight cotton surface carries the deep tone with a slightly smooth sheen. The drawstring and all construction elements are tonal or dark. The yellow-green compass badge on black ground at the outer right leg is the primary and most visible colour element on the all-dark exterior.
