Stone Island Technical Nylon Cargo Shorts with Large Bellows Pockets and Compass Badge

Technical Nylon Cargo Shorts. Large Bellows Cargo Pockets. Elasticated Drawstring Waist. Compass Badge. Two Colours.

A Stone Island cargo short in a lightweight technical nylon — a smooth, flat-woven technical fabric with a clearly visible surface sheen that distinguishes it from matte cotton or canvas cargo constructions. The fabric is lightweight and moves freely while maintaining a structured silhouette through the leg panels and cargo pockets, with the nylon surface producing a low-lustre reflective quality that shifts with light angle. This is a distinctly different construction from the plain-cotton utility short in this range: the nylon shell, bellows cargo pocket format, and waist hardware all position this as the more technical and visually substantial of the two short styles.

The waist is finished with a wide elasticated waistband with gathering at each side and a drawstring threaded through the centre front for adjustable fit. A metal snap button sits at the centre-front waist above the drawstring, providing a secondary closure point and a hardware accent against the nylon surface. The front body carries two angled slash pockets at each side for everyday carry. The defining feature of the construction is the pair of large oversized bellows cargo pockets set into the outer leg panels on each side — wide, three-dimensional patch pockets with box-pleat construction that allows the pocket body to expand outward from the leg panel, creating a strong volumetric silhouette on the outer thigh. The pocket openings face upward with no flap or zip closure. The leg is finished with a narrow folded turn-up cuff at the hem.

The Stone Island compass rose badge is positioned on the right outer leg above the cargo pocket on both colourways, in the standard yellow-green on black ground.

Silver (Light Silver-Grey)

A pale light silver-grey across the technical nylon — a cool, neutral grey that reads closer to a metallic silver-white in the fabric's natural sheen. The nylon surface amplifies the silver quality of the colour, producing a faint reflective finish that shifts between a near-white and a clear silver depending on light direction. The metal snap button, cargo pocket construction, and badge are all clearly legible against the pale ground. The yellow-green compass badge on the right leg provides the primary colour accent. A clean, high-contrast colourway with a distinctly technical character.

Black

Deep black across the technical nylon, with the fabric's surface sheen producing a satin-adjacent finish — not a flat matte black, but a smooth, low-lustre dark surface that catches light across the cargo pocket panels, waistband, and leg panels. The bellows cargo pocket construction reads clearly as structural volume against the all-dark surface through shadow and relief. The yellow-green compass badge on black ground at the right outer leg is the primary colour accent on the all-black construction.
