Vintage Patagonia Stand Up Shorts Men’s 32 Blue 4” — Early Hong Kong Era, “P” Button, Scooped Velcro Pockets

Item Description

Holy Grail Territory

Exceptionally rare late ’80s–early ’90s Patagonia Stand Up Shorts in Men’s size 32, produced during Patagonia’s early Hong Kong manufacturing era. These feature the original “P” stamped button — used only in the earliest production runs before Patagonia transitioned to the circular “Patagonia” logo hardware in the mid‑1990s.

Constructed from classic heavyweight cotton canvas in a rich blue colorway, with the distinctive scooped back pockets and hook‑and‑loop closures found only on early Stand Up Shorts patterns. This pocket design is highly sought after by collectors and rarely appears on the market today.

Important fit note:
The flat‑lay waist measures closer to 30 inches, which is common for early Patagonia canvas pieces due to factory variance and shrinkage over decades. Please review measurements to ensure best fit.

4-inch inseam. No flaws — exceptional condition for a pair from this era. Fast shipping. Measurements in photos.

These early Stand Up Shorts are increasingly scarce, especially in clean condition with all original hardware intact. A true piece of Patagonia history.
