Meet the Quartermaster Limited-Edition Ripstop Short. Made from USA Woven 10oz 100% ripstop cotton, it's made to outlast any other pair of shorts in your closet. We always obsess over durability and functionality - heavy-duty triple needle stitching with bar tacks in all high stress areas will keep these shorts in rotation for years to come.
The field pockets and oversized back pockets hold way more than you could ever need. Dress 'em up, or beat 'em up - they can handle whatever you throw at 'em. Ripstop was born out of necessity during World War II. The military needed a replacement for silk parachutes – something stronger and more dependable.
Engineers solved the problem by weaving thicker reinforcement threads into the fabric in a crosshatch pattern. The result wasn't tear-proof, but it stopped small tears from becoming catastrophic rips. Eighty years later, it's still one of the smartest fabric innovations ever developed.
