Fabric is not stretchy, but the waistband has some stretchy material added to is. Fabric is like a canvas of sorts......I love these 5.11 shorts. You won't be dispppointed

No the fabric is not very stretchy. It is very sturdy yet comfortable. I wear them during summer park events as police duty shorts. The waist band is stretchy. They are the best shorts for that type of work.

Like regular fabric - more like parachute material - light and smooth. These are my fav shorts for action shooting, I now own several pair. I have a pair I ripped months ago and after months of washing the rip did not fray

The material is a nearly perfect and very lightweight (6.14 ounce fabric weight) 65/35 polyester/cotton, breathable durable ripstop blend that feels very comfortable against your skin. However, the only stretch is in the action waist band but nothing in the actual fabric.These shorts are also nearly wrinkle free after washing and dry fairly quickly when wet. They are great for wear in the subtropical climate that I work and live in. If you are looking for something heavier say a canvas material for cooler climates that do make a 8.5 oz. canvas cargo short that may be better that environment. Hope this helps!

Brenden, No its not stretchy at all, its ripstop fabric which is like a softer Carhartt material.

I would say it's on the thinner side. Slightly heavier than a cotton fabric but not as heavy as what I would typically consider a canvas or upholstery fabric.

The fabric is sticky and stretchy, yet soft. It did not pull out my dogs fur. I don't know exactly what the material is though. Also, it has a unique smell, not bad just unique.

I have the Stone style car seat. The material is a very soft fabric, almost suede like in feel. It seems to breath better than the type of material shown in the Shadow model. We moved our two year old to the fabric material from the synthetic material and he seems much more comfortable in the warm weather.

It is a breathable black material. It reminds me of some of the football jerseys you see people wearing with the tiny holes in the material.

I think it's spandex and something else. It is very stretchy and roomy. The material is soft and not shiny.

It is a fabric but kinda could be easily washed, for the price I love mine and I do home daycare.

I think you should be okay. The fabric is nice a soft, so it might stretch just a bit.

It is similar to sock material with a shoulder pad inside. Stretches and breathes like a sock.

It's fabric. We love it. A little pricey when we bought it but once hung totally worth the money

It does stretch. I used it to replace a 'sock' for a tower speaker. Not sure about 'double knit' though. It is a good fabric

The material is similar to Army ACU uniform pants. Similar to ripstop material. It's not stretchy.

Depends - it looks like about the same weave as the dog bed fabric they make, which depending on heat and amount of weight from a dog on it does stretch and contract a little. The shade fabric itself does not seem to have substantial stretch as far as when trying it off. Heat conditions may make it a little more stretchy, but not substantially. I haven't noticed any stretching since putting mine up - I have it tied off at the corners. Hope that helps.

I suspect that it is just the picture... You need to select the size you need. It does stretch somewhat but is not elastic.BP
