MILANOS MID
A (Short) story about our long-awaited drop: The Milanos Mid.
Our goal was to create a stylish Short for those with impeccable standards, who equally value form, versatility, functionality, & breathable comfort.
Made from our signature TreeSilk™ fabric, softness is matched by durability, breathability is matched by natural stretchability.
TreeSilk is One Golden Thread's signature blend of TENCEL Micro Modal — regenerative beech tree fiber from Lenzing AG's forests in Austria — and ethical cotton.
Stitch by stitch, bespoke details abound, including sleek lines that asymmetrically taper at the knees, 6 pockets to journey, & an elevated silhouette with our signature golden thread cascading down the left side.
Handcrafted at our family-run, woman-owned partner facility in Los Angeles, with ethical production in Mexico using blue-line certified dye houses in Downtown LA.
Choose your Summer adventure in your new Milanos Mid, we guarantee this will be among your new favorite things to dress up and dress down, to wear year round.
Love these shorts wore them as much as my bathing suit this summer. The pockets are great the craftsmanship is phenomenal all around blown away!
These are my favorite bottoms to wear since purchasing and I keep alternating between my black and green pair and stopped wearing my previous go tos. Zero restriction. The texture and stretch of this fabric is the most comfortable I've felt on my sensitive skin (hEDS). Looking forward to my first dance pant for a full-length option. Even as a woman I'm enjoying the style and fit of the mid. These shorts have a uniquely versatile fit thanks to the lack of a waistband. With just the draw cords they can easily fit different size waists. Im 120lb 5'1" and they also fit my 170lb boyfriend. We both had a laugh about that but are impressed. I enjoy a longer short, the fit on me is like Bermuda style shorts, just about end at the knee. They want to fall off me until tied which can be a little tricky but I wouldn't give up the versatility and comfort of the drawcord.
Gratitude, respect, and love to all the folks at OGT for synthesizing the highest quality materials to create transcendent fashion-forward styles that blend unique color tones and shades.
I’ve always love a solid 3/4 length jogger, but these Milano Mid bottoms are absolutely magical. From the multiple pockets, my favorite being a cell phone pocket, the zipper is a high-quality and the cut at the distal end is remarkable. Don’t even get me started on the feel, and comfort. So breathable, so sturdy, and yet so light. Folks don’t know what they’re looking at the first time they see these clothes in-person; but they know quality when they see it, and these threads be snappin’ necks here in Portland, OR!
Thank you for allowing me to let my inner gold shine. Let’s go!!! 🙏🏽✊🏽❤️✨
The materials feel so good on my body! These are stylish and great for any summer activity or gathering.
I've been waiting for OGT shorts for years and the Milano Mids do not disappoint. Combining some of the best elements of the tree pants and the milanos to create the perfect estival short! Soft and cozy af and always golden!
For anyone familiar with One Golden Thread these new Milanos Mids check every box you've come to expect from OGT. While they are made from the same material as the Milanos Pant, there are subtle, yet striking differences that allow the Milanos Mids to stand alone as a completely unique offering. There amazing!
If you are considering OGT for the first time - make the move, you won't regret it.

P.S. Don't look at my legs!
Hands down the coolest shorts around
Super comfortable, unique look and quality materials. I wear a size 33 W and the M fit just right!
Absolutely perfectly unperfectly precious
These are really awesome! The only minor suggestion, a couple of tutorials on how to tie the super long string 😂
Hi Luca! We're thrilled to hear you find the MILANOS MID shorts so comfortable. Thanks for the fun suggestion - we take that to heart. And, try the carribeaner loop to the side to drape them. Let us know what you think. Enjoy your style!
Perfect for all weather
Just right for all activities indoors and outside.
Different from long pants but knee length is comfortable and eye catching.
Love the white toned ones!
Purchase 3 pairs of shorts and a long sleeve T for my husband … he just about cried when I gave it to him. He’s been looking for something this comfortable for the last 20 years !
This is what top-tier loungewear looks like. Not basic, not mass-market — this is built for people who care about quality and don’t mind paying for it. They hit different in a way most stuff just doesn’t
I do like these but some areas stitches have come undone and they were a little bigger than expected. size L/XL
I am wearing them in Italy right now
Very nice indeed
Comfortable
A bit long with tie cord
They feel great and are substantial enough to be perfect for our Pacific Northwest weather!!!
Thanks for making such wonderful clothes!!
Just bought 3 pairs, my new favorite shorts.
Beyond pleased with all of OGT products. I was initially hesitant on my initial order with pricing, but leaned into a friend’s testimony. I have been switching all my clothes to natural fibers, and these are the absolute best. The yoga mids are fantastic if you want to avoid the zipper, but highly recommend the tree pants, Milanos, T’s, and tanks. So soft, so comfy, the stretch and move incomparable. Bye to lulu
Your company is fantastic…I have been a supporter for years now and my son can’t live without you …A package was lost and you took care of it immediately..Thank you for the great service and merchandise from a Veteran in the clothing industry both in NY, Paris and LA….Best Phyllis..
A must no matter where I travel or what I do day to day. Can’t wait for a restock so I can buy more
Super comfortable. Love them. Wish they were more price friendly.
I'd wear them nonstop if I was confident that they are built for such use. I do however love them
It feels so comfortable.I where them all the time. can't wait to get the pants!!
Perfection. I live in these!
Very comfortable, highly recommended!
Love these.
I took a chance and purchased these “harem type” shorts with the drop front, wondering whether they would be too odd to wear in public. They are most comfortable and non-constricting and, to my surprised, they were a hit in almost every setting - a little unusual, but certainly a quality item. Looks great with a longish t-shirt. I will definitely get the long pants version very soon.
The Milanos Mids have all the great features, pockets and comfort of pants while being tapered to the knee and keeping cool, whether I dress them up or down, especially in the nuetral tones! I am over the moon with the versatility of these mid-length shorts and they have given my summer wardrobe the finishing touch! Can’t get enough of these sustainable and high quality fabrics!
