Fruit of the Loom sweatpants (called jog pants in the brand's own catalogue) are made from the same 280 g/m² fleece as the Classic hoodie, which is why they are the natural other half of a tracksuit. There are two cuts — elasticated cuff and open hem — and choosing between them is the main decision. This guide covers both, plus sizes, care and the lowest verified prices in Europe.
Fruit of the Loom sells two main sweatpants: the Classic Elasticated Cuff Jog Pants (64-026) with ribbed ankle cuffs and the Classic Open Hem Jog Pants (64-032) with a straight leg. Both are 280 g/m², 80 % cotton / 20 % polyester, with an elastic drawcord waist and side pockets. Cheapest verified price: €16.95 incl. VAT at Marmalade Co., frequently on sale at around €11.95, with €7 DHL shipping and delivery in 2–3 business days.
Sweatpants, joggers, jog pants, track pants — the names vary by country, but they all describe the same thing: fleece-backed trousers with an elastic waist. Fruit of the Loom's versions use the same 280 g/m² brushed fleece as the Classic Hooded Sweat and Classic Set-In Sweat, so the colours and the feel match if you combine them into a set. They are simple, warm and inexpensive, which is why they are used for everything from gym bags and lounging to school PE kits and printed team sets.
The cuffed model has ribbed ankle cuffs that keep the leg in place. It is the more popular of the two in Europe and the one most people picture when they think of joggers: a slightly tapered look, no fabric dragging on the ground, and it stays put when you push it up over the calf. Specifications: 280 g/m², 80 % cotton / 20 % polyester, elasticated waist with drawcord, two side pockets, ribbed cuffs.
The open-hem model has a straight, uncuffed leg. It looks more like a relaxed trouser than a jogger, works better with taller people who find cuffed joggers too short, and is often preferred for workwear and by older buyers. Same fabric, same waistband and pockets — only the hem differs.

| Kids Jog Pants | Ribbed cuff | approx. 280 g/m², 80/20 | School, PE, clubs (sizes 116–152) |

Because the jog pants share fabric and colours with the Classic hoodie and crewneck, a matching tracksuit is easy to assemble. At Marmalade Co. prices a hoodie (€20.95) plus sweatpants (€16.95) comes to under €38 for a full set, or around €33 when the sweatpants are on sale. Buy three or more pieces and the quantity discount takes another 5–10 % off. The most popular set colours are black, navy and grey melange. We cover combinations and colour matching in the Fruit of the Loom tracksuit guide.
Jog pants are sized S–2XL (some retailers also stock XS and 3XL) and follow the waist rather than the chest. The elasticated waist with drawcord is forgiving, so most people take the same letter size as their hoodie. Leg length is standard; tall wearers over about 190 cm may prefer the open-hem model.
| Size | Waist (cm) | Equivalent top size |
|---|---|---|
| S | 76–81 | S (chest 89–94) |
| M | 81–86 | M (chest 95–100) |
| L | 86–91 | L (chest 101–106) |
| XL | 91–97 | XL (chest 107–112) |
| 2XL | 97–102 | 2XL (chest 113–118) |
Waist measurements are approximate; the drawcord allows a few centimetres of adjustment either way. Kids' sizes go by height (116, 128, 140, 152 cm). All charts are in our Fruit of the Loom size guide.
The 80/20 blend keeps the sweatpants stable through many washes, but the ribbed cuffs and waistband are the parts most affected by heat. Wash at 30–40 °C, inside out, and avoid hot tumble drying so the elastic keeps its stretch and the fleece stays soft. Do not iron over a print. Expect a pair to last several years of regular use; the knees are typically the first area to show wear on cuffed models used for sport.
Plain jog pants with a small printed or embroidered logo on the thigh are a common choice for sports clubs, school PE kits and staff at gyms and warehouses. The flat front thigh prints well, and the low unit price makes them viable even for large groups. Cuffed models are the norm for sport; open-hem models suit workplaces where a tidier trouser look is preferred.

See bestsellers →Only the hem. The Classic Elasticated Cuff Jog Pants (64-026) have ribbed ankle cuffs for a tapered jogger look; the Classic Open Hem Jog Pants (64-032) have a straight, uncuffed leg that looks more like a relaxed trouser. Both are 280 g/m², 80 % cotton / 20 % polyester, with a drawcord waist and side pockets.
Typical European retail is €20–28 per pair. The cheapest verified option is Marmalade Co. at €16.95 incl. VAT, frequently on sale at around €11.95, with quantity discounts of 5–10 % for three or more pieces and €7 DHL shipping with delivery in 2–3 business days.
Yes. At 280 g/m² with a brushed inside they are the same weight as the Classic hoodie, which makes them warm enough for autumn and winter lounging, training in cool weather and layering under outdoor trousers. In summer heat they are too warm; the brand's shorts are the lighter alternative.
Only slightly, thanks to the 20 % polyester share. Wash at 30–40 °C and avoid hot tumble drying and they keep their length and the cuffs keep their stretch. If you are between sizes, take the larger one — the drawcord waist will hold it in place.
Adult jog pants are typically sold in S–2XL, with some retailers adding XS and 3XL. Sizing follows the waist: S roughly 76–81 cm, M 81–86 cm, L 86–91 cm, XL 91–97 cm. Kids' versions are sized by height from 116 to 152 cm. Most people take the same letter size as their hoodie.
