We recommend ripstop fabric as lining in our Gore-Tex fabric.
Ripstop is typically used in making products for the outdoors.
It can be used as a reinforcing fabric in products or clothes made to be worn in extreme conditions.
Ripstop is ideal for tactical use—especially in situations where a tear develops while the wearer has no way to change clothes.
It is also a great choice for backpacks, sports clothing, and some kinds of luggage.
Ripstop is a strong durable fabric that is surprisingly light in weight and smooth.
How to sew Ripstop: The fabric comes with minor challenges, but easily overcome them with a few tricks:
- Use sharp scissors or a rotary fabric cutter to reduce fraying of the nylon. Nylon tends to fray when cut to size for your project.
- Keep the fabric tight by pulling the fabric on both sides of the needle instead of trying to pull the fabric through.
- Never pin ripstop nylon. Consider using double sided tape versus straight pins to keep your fabric from slipping as you sew or a glue stick.
- Don’t be afraid to burn your edges or seams for a sturdy seal. Always exercise extreme caution when attempting this technique.
- Practice your stitch! Zigzag stitches help keep your seams from breaking when a stretch to the fabric occurs.

Important Update: Canada Post Strike
New Shipping Options Now Available
To ensure your satisfaction and timely delivery, we are not using Canada Post for shipping until the current strike is resolved. Rest assured, we’ve partnered with alternative carriers to maintain a seamless shipping experience for all our customers.
Québec and Ontario
For deliveries within Québec and Ontario, we primarily use Purolator. If Purolator does not service your address, we may need to use Canada Post or another carrier, which could incur additional charges, particularly for P.O. box addresses.
For remote or rural areas where delivery costs are higher, additional fees may apply. In these cases, we will provide proof of the shipping costs to ensure transparency.
If your order qualifies for free shipping but your delivery address is in a rural area or the package is oversized, we will cover the standard shipping cost (e.g., $14). Any charges exceeding this amount will be the responsibility of the customer. We will contact you and provide proof of the actual shipping cost before proceeding.
Other Provinces in Canada, USA, and International Shipping
For customers in other Canadian provinces, the USA, or internationally, we offer a range of shipping options through various carriers. The customer is responsible for selecting their preferred shipping method at checkout.
Please note that our system provides an estimated shipping cost at checkout, which may not always reflect the actual shipping charges. In cases of oversized orders, shipments to rural or remote areas, or delivery to P.O. boxes, the final shipping cost may differ. If this occurs, we will contact you directly with the updated shipping cost, which will be the responsibility of the customer.
Important Notes for International Shipping
If you select the cheapest shipping option, it often involves delivery through Canada Post, which may take 20–60 business days and may not include tracking. If we notice that you’ve chosen this method, we will contact you to offer alternative options. Should you choose a different shipping method, you will be responsible for paying any additional shipping costs.
We strive to provide clear communication and ensure your shipping experience is seamless. If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out to us at: info@lestissees.com

We strive for excellence in our products and customer service, but some imperfections may occur with fabric.
Please note that stains, holes, or blemishes within 3 inches (10 cm) of the edge are considered acceptable. Missing or pulled knit stitches on the wrong side of the fabric that do not distort the face are also considered acceptable. Additionally, fabric cut at 1 to 3 cm from the edge is acceptable. Stains on the inside of the fabric are also acceptable if they do not appear on the right side.
Please be aware that fabric may shrink after the first wash, so we recommend purchasing slightly more than the exact length required for your project.
We cannot cancel or refund orders once we've cut your fabric. If a refund is necessary, a 5% administration fee of your total bill will be charged.
We cannot offer refunds or compensation for items purchased a few days before they go on sale.
If a product is sold out, we'll contact you immediately to offer either a refund of the item at the price you've paid or a replacement with a product of equal value.
