Canopy Ripstop Cargo Pants / Olive
The verdict
Fit
Cargo in stiff ripstop; olive softens the utilitarian aesthetic while maintaining structure. True sizing.
Quality
Ripstop durability is unchanged by color. Olive dye is stable and naturalistic; the pant will develop a weathered patina with age.
Price check
Premium pricing consistent with ripstop and John Elliott. Olive is slightly less versatile than black but more forgiving than tan.
Best for
Outdoor-minded dressers valuing technical durability and a natural earth-tone palette.
Care
Ripstop maintenance is minimal; wash warm and air dry. Olive will develop character with age.

What owners report about John Elliott pants
Long-term owners report the pants hold up well — one multi-year owner notes the stitching still holding strong with no visible wear — and the cotton-nylon pant fabrics draw specific praise. The recurring complaint is price: at full prices around $348 reviewers flatly say value is not a selling point and steer buyers toward sale pricing. Fits run baggy through the thigh, and reviewers describe finding the right size as tricky. One long-form complaint (about a shirt, not pants) also documents the brand going unresponsive after a customer reported a garment defect.
- Strengths
- Owners report construction and materials that hold up over years of regular wear.
- Watch out for
- Full retail prices draw consistent value complaints, and the relaxed cuts run baggy enough that getting the size right is difficult.
- Sizing
- Cuts run loose — reviewers on the cusp size down, and elastic waistbands on several styles stretch enough to make that easy.
