Ripton’s New Black Acid Jorts
Paraphrasing product descriptions seems moot when they’re this good, so I’ll let Ripton take it from here:
“We take one part spark-plug fluid. An unhealthy helping of axle grease. And a macro-dose of brain-bending, jet black acid. Then mix in a five-gallon bucket until the contents resemble ooze spilling from Chernobyl’s long-lost singletrack. Drop in a pair of Ripton tech jorts, top off with a splash of Four Loko, and apply a light smoke. 24 hours later, we unearth our mutated masterpiece: the V3 Black Acid technical denim jort.”
Updated high-rise fit, technical mesh pockets, technical zipper and button.
bluesign® certified
Ripton Steelknit® 38% weft stretch denim
MSRP: $89
Available for men and women at Ripton for pre-order with a December 10th shipment date.

Rippin’ Ass in Ripton & Co’s Action Jorts: A Review
I’m not going to lie, when I first saw the post about Ripton & Co I thought it was a joke, and if it wasn’t a joke why have I missed the business opportunity of the decade sitting right in front of my face. At a startling $89 for a pair boutique cut off jorts, I was stunned. I was shortly connected to the Jort Lord, Elliot Wilkinson-Ray, who asked what size I wanted and if I wanted the shorts hemmed or cut off, I chose to go with cut off to go for the full jort experience.
