Is this 65/35 blend rip-stop? On their website, there is a choice between classic cotton or 65/35 blend ripstop.

I never buy cotton ems or tac pants. The ones I use are the blend, that's the reason they wash and dry better with less fade. The cotton ones bleed during washing, dry wrinkled and fade bad.

The package says on "cotton natural blend" . No other materials are listed, but has to be rubber or elastic of some sort.

Wow, RS, thank you so much for starting this thread. I'm allergic to most polyester fill and fabric (asthma and contact dermatitis) and was thinking of buying it only because they stated it was 100% cotton shell and fill. All cotton is hard to find at this sale price so I was going to buy it as a back up to my current one that's really held up well in 1.5 decades of use.

I ordered 1 grey, 1 sheriff brown, and 2 black. The grey and sheriff brown were 65/35 Poly-cotton rip-stop. The black pairs were heavier and the label said 60/40 cotton/poly - much too hot for my weather. The black pairs had the label numbered F20112001 with a UPC #788029014849 which an online search returned: 60/40 Cotton/Poly Twill, Size Large-Regular. Twill fabric is smooth whereas rip-stop fabric have raised lines forming square grid-work throughout the fabric. I will most likely return the black twill pairs.

I would say this is probably risky. I would be wary of the 23% synthetic fiber content. I had 100% cotton that I was working with when I used it, and as you can see above, it had very variable results. The answer would lie in how much you like your jeggings, I guess.

I don't believe so. I wanted 100% cotton with no chemicals, so I'm hoping that I selected the right one. I boiled mine before I used it to remove any "sizing" etc , to make sure it didn't contain anything harmful.

The larger the needle the better for materials. Often something called a Jean/denim needle might be what you are looking for. But you didn't say what kind of heavy material. Yes it makes a difference. Heavy Pack Cloth nylon but with waterproof backing might infuence. Some nylons do better with a ball point head others need a sharper point. Many microfiber fabrics do best with a sharp point not ball because it can dull the needle quickly. So having mentioned that the 110/18 is the largest among this grouping offered. And the next down would be 100/16. I use the 90/14 pretty much standard across the board for the type of heavy duty sewing I often do. I sew with lots of tapestry fabrics which can be very heavy some with extra backing I would go up one or two sizes. Denim does ok with ballpoints usually if all cotton. Some polyester blends do better with a sharp. Do not use sharps on knits I've had them cut some knits so bad it is like you cut right along with scissors through the fabric as you sewed leaving you with two pieces not a seam. Anyway the rule of thumb is larger for heavy fabric. I actually like a 20 and even larger but these can be hard to find. Hope it helps and good luck with your projects.

The product description DOES say it is rip-stop nylon: Multi-colored rip stop nylon material for extra durability. All panels are double stitched for added strength. Reinforced mesh center allows ample air flow and prevents balls from rolling through the middle. Double stitched handles that won't tear or come loose.

When purchasing anything that is cotton ALWAYS order larger....cotton will shrink every time you wash and dry it...does not matter if they claim it is preshrunk. At least this is a blend so it will not shrink as bad as 100% cotton items.

You're right, it's a rip, there is no difference. Mine came used with no paperwork to indicate a receipt or how to return it. Stay away from this thing!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cannot find a label that gives that information and packaging is thrown away! Appears to be a poly blend to me. Washes beautifully, and ultra soft. Runs big. Hope this helps!

I know nothing about material but I would probably call them a Poly/Cotton blend and they feel like a light weight canvas.. I do know that they are rip-stop....and they wear well in all kinds of weather. I especially like them in the Texas summer. They are much more comfortable than blue jeans. I've been wearing them for a couple of years and the oldest ones look as good as the newer ones.

I'm sorry, but I don't know. I buy the 90 drop size and it lasts quite a while.

I have the same opinions as you regarding 100% cotton and 100% synthetic....I have found the UA "charged cotton" shirt pretty much answer both complaints! If I am anticipating at full out cardio "sweat" workout I prefer the UA "vented" hot gear shirts...they really work well. Otherwise...I am just sold on the "charged cotton" shirts. Great, comfortable top for lifting or stretching workouts. Plus I have found that they are my go to shirt for just bumming around town or going for hikes/walks. They are replacing my other cotton-Ts! Hope this helps.

I will look when it arrives. I had another and was great for our bloodhound, but cannot remember if 100% cotton. As soon as it arrives I will replay with materials!

The one i received appeared to be cotton. I'm more accustomed to polyester roping. Check with the manufacturer for their specs.

I haven't tried extreme 60 ripped so I can't really give an opinion. I just like the extreme 60.
