Kyoto Black Midweight Terry Standard Sweatpant
The verdict
Fit
Standard fit. The Kyoto Black dyeing process imparts a specific hand and appearance; fabric may feel subtly different from standard midweight. True to size.
Quality
Kyoto Black is a specialized dye process suggesting careful craftsmanship. Midweight terry is robust; durability shouldn't be compromised by the finish.
Price check
At 175, this is premium-luxury pricing justified only by the exclusive Kyoto dyeing process and brand positioning. For raw performance, this is overpriced.
Best for
Collectors or brand loyalists seeking a limited, hand-crafted piece willing to pay luxury pricing for exclusivity over utilitarian value.
Care
Hand wash separately in cool water; the Kyoto Black finish may bleed slightly if not rinsed thoroughly.

What owners report about Reigning Champ sweatpants
Owners report the midweight terry sweatpants hold up over years: one reviewer who has owned three pairs since 2015 reports no construction issues, and reviewers repeatedly credit the flatlock seams, ribbed panels at friction points, and the thick, secure waistband. The most common complaint is the slim cut's aggressive taper — reviewers with bigger calves report the fabric touching their calves at all times and recommend the roomier cut instead. Practical gripes center on the cotton terry itself: it does not wick moisture as well as polyester, takes a long time to dry, and the cuffs stretch out a little with wear.
- Strengths
- Construction quality that owners verify over years of ownership — flatlock seams, reinforced friction points, and terry fabric that keeps its shape.
- Watch out for
- The slim fit's calf taper is too trim for muscular legs, the cotton terry dries slowly and suits lounging more than workouts, and cuffs loosen a little over time.
- Sizing
- Reviewers took their usual size and found the waist accurate, but those with thicker calves advise choosing the classic/standard cut over the slim, whose taper runs trim through the lower leg.
