Stone Island Japanese-Style Chino Shorts with Twin Pleats and Compass Badge

Cotton Chino Shorts. Twin Front Pleats. Semi-Elasticated Button Waist. No Cargo Pockets. Compass Badge. Two Colours.

A Stone Island short in a matte cotton or cotton-blend twill — the most refined and restrained construction in this Stone Island shorts range. Where other shorts in the range are defined by cargo pocket volume, technical fabric treatment, or tactical hardware, this short is defined by the absence of those elements: there are no outer leg cargo pockets, no drawstring, no flap or zip pocket on the thigh, and no surface print or wash treatment. The fabric is a smooth, flat cotton twill with a clean matte finish and a composed drape that reads as a chino or tailored casual short rather than a utility or techwear construction. The overall character is closer to Japanese workwear or smart-casual tailoring in spirit, with the Stone Island compass badge providing the sole brand identification against an otherwise minimal exterior.

The waist is finished with a semi-elasticated waistband — the front section is flat and structured, with a single button closure at the centre front, while the side panels carry elasticated inserts for comfort and adjustability. There is no drawstring. The front body carries two small angled slash pockets and two vertical front pleats (twin pleats / double pleats) on each side of the centre — a fuller, more tailored pleat format than the single comfort pleat used on other shorts in this range, which adds structured volume through the hip and upper thigh and contributes a quietly elevated quality to the silhouette. The leg narrows slightly toward the hem in a slim-straight profile, and is finished with a folded turn-up cuff.

The Stone Island compass rose badge is positioned on the right outer leg on both colourways. On both the khaki and deep blue, the badge is a yellow-green compass rose on black square ground (standard) — a consistent badge format across both colourways on this style.

Khaki (Classic Khaki / Sand)

A classic army khaki or sand beige — a warm, muted yellow-brown that reads as the most conventional military khaki reference in the range. The matte cotton twill surface is even and clean, with no surface variation or wash distress, and the fabric’s flat finish gives the khaki tone a composed, unpretentious quality. The slim-straight profile and twin-pleat front construction translate the khaki into a refined, almost tailored register rather than a casual utility one. The yellow-green compass badge provides a clean, high-contrast colour accent on the right outer leg.

Deep Blue (Deep Navy / Dark Indigo)

A deep navy or dark indigo — a near-black blue with strong depth and a cool, dark character that reads as a formal or smart-casual counterpart to the khaki colourway. The matte cotton twill in this tone has a contained, composed surface quality, and the deep blue reads as uniform and even across all panels with no tonal variation. The button closure at the waist, the twin front pleats, and the slim-straight leg profile all read as particularly refined against the dark ground. The yellow-green compass badge on the right outer leg provides the sole bright colour accent on the otherwise all-dark exterior.
