Ripstop brings an enhanced level of toughness to fabric. This version is 100% cotton, which is more unusual for a ripstop, which tend to be nylon. Ripstop is designed to resist tearing by incorporating reinforced threads into the weave in a grid pattern. You see that subtle grid in this fabric and know it's ready to do it's job. It also lends a textured pattern and a slightly more modern look to these Joggers. The 9.75 ounce weight puts them right in the sweetspot - usable but durable. The value makes them hard to resist.

Sometimes we yield to comfort. Maybe it’s just a really hot day and you want something easy and breathable. Maybe it’s a hike. Maybe you’re finally getting around to the list of things you’ve put off for 6 months that always end up being harder than you thought. Maybe you just want sheer comfort. That’s when we reach for these new joggers. The combination of casual and formal blends together perfectly to create a pant you can relax in and actually venture out in. The casual comes from the elastic waistband and cuffs, lending both informality and ease. No belts, no worries about exact waist size. They move to accommodate you. Against that casual backdrop come more refined touches such as the slash front pockets and one welt back pocket. Fabric adds more character and versatility, in this case our favorite linen chambray. Big texture and rich color.
