Fabrics, swatches, materials, hides, wools—we’re obsessed with them. I mean, not really. Technically we’re just obsessed with them once they’ve been manipulated and materialized into a very expensive set of sweatpants, but you get my point. And because I’m sure you don’t get enough of my uninformed, unsolicited opinions, I’m here to inform you of the steeziest fabrics of all time. We're clocking everything from endangered animal hides to shit made in a lab.

Ripstop

Used by the military, ripstop poplin is basically a lightweight cotton poplin reinforced with nylon threads woven in at regular intervals. Together, like Voltron, the resulting fabric is a sturdy, but lightweight material that is suitable for getting your Apocalypse Now on at Trader Joes. The visible cross-hatching gives the clothing more depth and interest, while also protecting it from your innate clumsiness. Plus, you’ll have an uninteresting factoid about your field jacket to bore people with.
