Work Clothing Made of Tear-Resistant Cotton Fabric

Continuing its innovation in comfortable, tough and practical workwear, Riggs Workwear by Wrangler (Booth S10562) will feature Ripstock fabric in the clothing it is bringing to this week’s International Builders’ Show.

Constructed of 10-ounce, 100% cotton fabric, Ripstock is tear-resistant, comfortable for year-round wear and ideal for hard work. The fabric is being used in pants, shorts and jackets.

Riggs Workwear pants provide unprecedented toughness. A room2move™ fit with gusset crotch allows for a greater range of motion on the job. Back pockets, which often receive the most abuse, are reinforced at stress areas and lined with DuPont Cordura® fabric. Adding to pocket durability is patented leather tape measure reinforcement on the right front pocket of the pants.

The Ripstop pants also include a right-side hammer loop, larger belt loops and deep, 13-inch front pockets. The pants are available in several styles and colors, including the Ranger Pant, which features reinforced knees and roomy side cargo pockets.

Ripstop shorts are also available for work in warmer weather. This spring, they will be available in two styles, Carpenter and Ranger, and in several colors.

For cold days on the job, Riggs Workwear has created Ripstop jackets lined with Thinsulate™ insulation or fleece. To free up movement, the jackets combine tailored, relaxed fits with side gussets and less bulky insulation.

The jackets include chest and side tool pockets.

Riggs Workwear by Wrangler is a member of the National Council of the Housing Industry — The Supplier 100 of NAHB.
