With the fall ‘22 launch of the Ready Set Cargo Pant from Dovetail Workwear – the exclusively women’s workwear apparel company based in Portland, Oregon – CORDURA® and Sapphire Finishing Mills Ltd. were equally proud to announce their partnership on the development of the evolved style built for, with, and by women.

A pant often worn by emergency medical technicians (EMTs), tactical teams, and outdoor adventurers, the Ready Set Cargo is a reimagined and stylish multi-pocketed pant designed with intuitive functionality for tough jobs featuring CORDURA® NYCO Fabric in a micro-ripstop fabric and milled by Sapphire Finishing Mills Ltd. CORDURA® NYCO Fabric brings the comfort of cotton with enhanced durability of nylon. 

Originally designed as a rugged, lightweight comfort solution for military combat uniforms, durable CORDURA® NYCO Fabric is engineered with an intimate blend of INVISTA T420 nylon 6,6 staple fiber and delivers enhanced abrasion and tear resistance, No Melt No Drip performance and 3-5x slower flame spread versus equivalent weight polyester/cotton.

This classic utility-cargo has benefited from a fresh look and the details have ensured optimal function and a flattering fit. With 8 pockets (including 2 big-bellowed pockets) and 2 clip tabs for carabiners, Ready Set Cargo is a walking storage unit for tools, supplies, and gear. An elasticized EZ Waist adds comfort, and elastic cuffs keep out the grit and grime.
