Stone Island Washed Cotton Fleece Shorts with Tonal Embroidered Compass Badge and Raw Cut Hem

Washed Cotton Fleece Shorts. Relaxed Fit, Above Knee. Elasticated Double Drawstring Waist. Raw Cut Unfinished Hem. Large Tonal Circular Embroidered Compass Badge on Right Thigh. Two Colours.

Stone Island shorts in a washed cotton fleece — thick, soft, and deliberately aged through a heavy wash treatment that gives the surface an uneven, lived-in texture and a slightly faded colour read. This is the most distressed and casual piece in this Stone Island range, and the most compositionally minimal: no contrast stitching, no pockets on the front face, no metallic badge hardware. Instead, the defining details are a raw cut unfinished hem — the only piece in this range with an intentional raw edge at the leg opening — and a large circular embroidered compass badge applied directly to the right thigh in a fully tonal colourway, reading through raised embroidery texture rather than colour contrast. The badge on this piece is significantly larger than the metal snap-mount compass badge used across other pieces in the range, and the embroidered application gives it a softer, more integrated presence on the garment surface.

The washed finish is applied across the full body of both colourways. On the white version, the wash produces an uneven off-white or dirty white rather than a clean, uniform tone — the cotton surface has a mottled, slightly faded quality with visible variations in tone across the fabric. On the black version, the wash introduces a subtle grey cast and faded quality to an otherwise deep black base — the black reads as aged and worn-in rather than fresh and saturated. In both cases, the wash treatment gives the cotton fleece a more relaxed, organic surface character than unwashed cotton, and reinforces the deliberately casual aesthetic of the piece.

The raw cut hem at each leg opening is an intentional design finish: the fabric edge is left unfinished, with visible fraying and exposed raw threads at the hem line. This is the only piece in this Stone Island range with a raw, unfinished hem — all other pieces use ribbed cuffs, ribbed hem bands, or clean open hems. The raw edge is consistent in both colourways and reads as a deliberate distressing detail rather than a construction shortcut, complementing the washed surface treatment of the body.

The Stone Island compass badge on the right thigh is a large circular embroidered or woven appliqué, significantly larger in diameter than the metal snap-mount badge used on other pieces in this range — approximately 8–10 cm across. The badge is rendered in a fully tonal colourway: white embroidery on a white ground on the white version; black embroidery on a black ground on the black version. In both cases, the badge is visible not through colour contrast but through the raised texture of the embroidery, the slight sheen difference between the dense embroidered surface and the softer cotton fleece body, and the defined circular outline of the appliqué. The tonal badge treatment connects directly to the overall aesthetic of the piece — minimal, self-referential, and dependent on material and texture rather than colour for its visual presence.

White (Washed Off-White)

A washed off-white or dirty white cotton fleece body — not a clean, uniform white, but an uneven, mottled tone produced by the heavy wash treatment. The surface reads as aged, slightly variable across the body, and with the soft raised texture of washed cotton fleece. The raw cut hem exposes the unfinished cotton edge at each leg opening. The tonal white embroidered compass badge on the right thigh is visible as a raised, denser circular area on the pale ground, reading as a subtle embossed mark rather than a graphic element. The double drawstring is white, matching the body. The overall palette is a single, unified washed-white tone from waistband to raw hem, interrupted only by the textural presence of the badge.

Black (Washed Faded Black)

A washed, slightly faded black cotton fleece body — a deep black with a subtle grey cast introduced by the wash treatment, giving the surface a worn-in, slightly aged quality rather than the flat, saturated black of an unwashed cotton. The raw cut hem is clearly visible at each leg opening, with the raw cotton threads distinct against the dark ground. The tonal black embroidered compass badge on the right thigh reads through its raised embroidery surface and the slight sheen difference between the dense badge and the softer fleece body. The badge circular outline and the compass motif within it are legible at close range but read as a subtle tonal detail at distance. The double drawstring is dark grey or black, matching the body. The overall palette is a unified, washed-dark-black from waistband to raw hem.
