Ripstop Cotton Fabric, 280 GSM, 60” Wide

A textured ripstop cotton fabric with a durable reinforced weave and a natural off-white surface. At approx. 280 GSM, this is a medium-to-heavyweight cotton fabric with strong body, visible structure, and a practical utility feel, suitable for garments, bags, accessories, and home textile projects. How it’s made: Ripstop fabric is woven with reinforced yarns at regular intervals, creating a subtle grid-like structure that helps improve strength and resistance to tearing. This cotton version has a naturally textured handfeel with visible yarn character, making it sturdier and more dimensional than a flat plain-weave cotton.
