Ripstop is one of the most recognisable military fabrics ever produced. Originally developed for field uniforms and equipment, its reinforced construction was designed to improve durability while keeping weight to a minimum. The characteristic crosshatch pattern is created by thicker yarns woven into the fabric at regular intervals, helping to prevent small tears from spreading.
For our BPS-03 FATIGUE SHORTS, we selected an 8 oz. ripstop fabric woven by Collect Mills in Japan. Unlike many modern ripstop fabrics that utilise synthetic fibres, this version is woven from 100% cotton. The result is a fabric that combines durability with breathability and comfort, making it particularly well suited for everyday wear during the warmer months.
Those interested in the fabric beyond the shorts will also find it in our BWS-03 MILITARY OVERSHIRT, available in navy and olive drab, as well as our tiger camo pattern.
