Heavy twill

Heavy 100% cotton twill maintains baggy shape, holds pleats, ages well, and circulates air

Why this is supported

This fabric also holds the pleats crisp all day:

The heavyweight cotton twill carries enough inherent body and stiffness to hold the single front pleats in crisp definition throughout the day, preventing the front of the pant from collapsing into soft wrinkles even after extended sitting or walking.What to expect from heavyweight cotton twill — pleat_retention
