🧵 Suggested Fabrics
Cotton Spandex Jersey is our most popular pant (or short) fabric.
Pants can be made out of either woven, stretch woven, or stretchy knits, the choice is yours! The one thing you want to watch for is that the fabric is not too light weight, just for durabilities sake. Read fabric descriptions, they will usually comment if a fabric is medium weight, or suitable for pants.
Woven fabrics: Twill, Gabardine, Suitings, Linen (at least 5 oz weight). Add spandex to any of these and you have a stretch woven fabric.
