I recently attended an Outlier job fair and got onboarded into the INQA/MWF program. I was able to submit the initial assignment on time.

I am currently preparing for a job switch and interviews, so I want to understand the practical earning potential before committing serious time.

For people already working on Outlier:

1. How consistent is the work availability after onboarding?
2. Is earning ₹50k–₹60k/month realistic, or only possible for a few people?
3. How many hours per day do you usually need to spend?
4. Does it make sense to do this alongside job-switch preparation?
5. Are there any red flags or common mistakes beginners should avoid?

I am not asking for support on a specific task, just trying to understand whether it is worth allocating 2–3 hours daily.

Thanks in advance.

Man. I have a pair of black Bomb Dungarees in 33 that I took around the world. For 95% of my travels since 2021, it was my main pant. I LOVE those pants. However my body put on a few inches and lbs over the years and now I'm somewhere between or around a 35, closer to a 36, and they no longer fit me.

I am sad. Dear Outlier, please rerelease some straight cuts with Postdenim Bombtwill. I tried the post denim loose leans - and they are a very strange cut for me, though I know they will work for some people. Bombtwill is my favorite fabric yet. That's all I have to say. Happy with my new black merino cut two tee today and just squeezing into the Slim Dungarees in a 35, which I hope will give a tiny bit on the waist. Gearing up for 9 days in the UK in 2 weeks and Outlier is my go-to for merino tops and pants I can wear over and over again. IMO we need more PANTS Outlier!!! Love you.

Cannabiscotton Cruisers, Ramielust Cut Two T-Shirt, Nylistic Merino Traveler

I was fortunate enough to receive a production sample of the Cannabiscotton Cruisers and have been wearing them for the past month. The material isn’t new to me, I’ve had Cannabiscotton 107s for years. However, I am new to the Cruiser cut. I’m a big stan for the Paraglider cut, and these are not only a worthy alternative, but quickly becoming my favourite of the two cuts.

This review is largely a comparison piece. Focusing on the differences between common cuts, and the different materials shared among them.

Cruisers vs Paragliders

If you’re a fan of 109s or Paragliders, then Cruisers are their secret lovechild. At a glance, they look like Paragliders, the legs are largely the same, width, darts and leg cinches. When you look at the waistband the changes are more apparent. Outlier has been making pants in the Paraglider cut since 2022. They’re fantastic but have never caught on with their mainstream audience. The 109 cut started with the 107s back in 2023, and were an instant hit. They’ve returned every year, often in new materials. Cruisers borrow ideas from the 109 cut, but at the core, they’re a simplified version of the Paragliders. I was hesitant to try them. I love Paragliders, I own them in every released material, some in multiple colours. I own many 107, 108 and 109s too. I like them and wear them often, but for the most part, they’re my house pants. When I first heard about the Cruiser cut, it sounded like a stripped down Paraglider, a cheaper or lesser cut. While there are changes that simplify production, they are not a lesser cut. They are different, but just as great, and in my opinion dramatically better than 109s. I hope we see more Cruisers in the near future. The elastic waistband might not work with thicker materials, like Strongtwill or Postdenim, but Injected Linen seems like a no-brainer.

Pockets

Cruiser’s have pockets very similar to 109s, they’re slightly deeper, have a less aggressive angle and are more comfortable to rest your hands in. They’re missing the secure flap Paragliders have, and aren’t stacked. Instead you get 2 pockets and one extra inner pocket (the 5th pocket) on the wearer’s right. The pocket design is much better than patch pockets 109s use. When compared to Paragliders I mostly miss not having an extra pocket on the left side. I use the 4 front pockets on my Paragliders regularly, not having it on these annoys me. I like keeping my wallet and phone separate from other items I carry, like keys, AirPods, gum, chapstick, etc. When I wear these, my left pocket ends up being a misc pit of shit. It’s not a dealbreaker, but I would welcome a future revision that adds another inner pocket to the left side. Losing the Paraglider secure pocket is a bummer but it’s not a big deal in reality. These pockets are excellent, nothing will fall out. The bigger loss is the character that the flaps added to the silhouette. I really like how they look, though I can see how removing them could been seen as a positive change for some.

Waistband

The Cruiser waistband is really unique. It’s a big departure from both 109s and Paragliders. 109s have a full elastic waistband with a paracord + 3bar to cinch it tighter. In general, they fit looser, more relaxed and you rely the paracord to tighten it. Paragliders have an unstructured waistband, with two paracord + 3bar cinches on the sides. This combination is super comfortable, but it can be a bit annoying having to loosen/tighten both sides to get the right fit. Cruisers have a split elastic waistband, with shank closure. No paracord cinches, just pure elastic. This elastic is much stronger than on 109s, but is so much more comfortable. Since there’s no paracord running through the waistband the pressure is distributed evenly and feels dramatically better. The button shank is a nice touch, very easy to get in and out of, and being able to stretch the waistband to close it is a pleasant change from regular waistbands that have minimal stretch. Having it snap into place after buttoning it is so satisfying. Another benefit I’ve noticed is they don’t move much when worn. Both my 109s and Paragliders have a habit of sliding down throughout the day. Cruisers stay exactly where you leave them. The strong elastic keeps just enough tension to stop them from sliding down. If you tuck your shirts, this waistband will keep them tucked perfectly. Like Paragliders, Cruisers include belt loops if you need to wear a belt, or simply want to hide the elastic waistband for a cleaner look. 

Both cuts are excellent. You just need to decide what you value more, the waistband or pockets. Personally, I value the waistband more than pockets. Cruisers are my preferred cut.

Material

https://preview.redd.it/3k3c32y1jjzg1.jpg?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2124d64067c468fcb99786f4bf61f1d3c4adead0

I love Cannabiscotton. I’m a massive fan of Hemp clothing in general, but this particular blend is so nice. 55% Hemp, 44% Cotton and 1% Elastane. That 1% of elastane is doing a lot of work. This material has arguably the perfect amount of stretch. They never feel restrictive, never bag out and always snap back perfectly, even after years of wear and washing. They have a remarkable durability too. It’s not bombproof, you can definitely puncture it if you tried, but with regular wear you won’t have any issues, it’s built to last. It also passes the pet test, claws haven’t damaged it, and pet hair easily brushes off. I have a pair of Cannabiscotton 107s I’ve been wearing regularly since 2024. They’ve aged wonderfully, softer and developed a lovely patina. It is a bit thicker than you’d expect — 280gsm — but still manages to be comfortable in a wide temperature range. It’s spring in Toronto, which means you get to experience 3 seasons each week, unfortunately never quite hitting summer temperatures. I’ve worn these in temperatures as low as -10ºC (14ºF) and has high as +20C (68ºF). I probably wouldn’t recommend wearing these below -5ºC (23ºF), but you can do it. When peak summer hits and it’s +30ºC (86ºF), you probably won’t want to wear these. Though shorts would be nice, especially if they were a wide and loose cut. In terms of water resistance, there is none, they will saturate quickly if it’s raining. They do have pretty good wind resistance, you feel the breeze, but it’s not unpleasant, and when it’s warmer it’s very much appreciated.

It’s an expensive material but one of the best. I wish Outlier used it more but I understand the hesitation. Shorts seem like a natural progression, Littlebigs and Airs come to mind, but I think these would be great in the older Baggies cut. What I really want to see is more Cannabiscotton tops. It’s got a great temperature range, ages beautifully and is surprisingly structured. It’s too thick for a shirt, but would make a terrific light jacket. I would die happy to see it in the Traveler cut, but it’d be great as a Shank, Twopocket or even the recent Hoodie-up.

Injected Linen vs Cannabiscotton

Most of you reading this will be familiar with Injex. For those who aren’t, it’s Outlier’s most popular linen blend. 59% linen, 41% polyester and 170gsm; it’s a terrific material. As much as I love Cannabiscotton there’s no beating Injex for summer pants, it’s 40% lighter and breathes better. The weight difference is immediately noticeable. After wearing Cannabiscotton for the past month, Injex feels like wearing nothing, it’s remarkably light. That said, once summer ends I put my Injex pieces in storage. Cannabiscotton I keep out all year long. It’s wearable in a wider temperature range. Perfect for spring, autumn, and summer nights. When winter rolls around it’s an exceptionally comfortable lounge pant.

If you’re looking strictly for a summer pant, Injex is superior. If you want a pant that can be worn pretty much all year, you want Cannabiscotton.

Futurecloth vs Cannabiscotton

If you hate synthetic materials this will be an easy choice, F. Cloth is 97% nylon. If you’re indifferent, it’s worth comparing. Despite being 28% lighter it shares a similar temperature range with Cannabiscotton. Its strength comes from its durability, water resistance and quick drying. It’s the best material for travelling. Easy to keep clean, packs small and you can wear it just about anywhere. Since Cannabiscotton is made up of natural materials it requires more care to keep clean. It will easily absorb spills, and if you’re caught in the rain it’ll take a while to dry. F. Cloth has 3x more elastane than Cannabiscotton but you wouldn’t know it. It’s not rigid like Injex, but it has significantly less stretch than Cannabiscotton. Realistically pants this loose don’t need stretch, but it is nice to have, even if just reaching into your pocket, or buttoning up the waistband. Another difference is structure. F. Cloth is a softer material and doesn’t drape as nicely. Cannabiscotton is much more structured and holds it’s shape much better.

If you want a durable do-it-all pant, F. Cloth is a great choice. If you want something that hits the same temperature range, but feels and looks dramatically better, you want Cannabiscotton.

Sizing

The elastic in this waistband is stronger than those found in most Outlier bottoms, e.g. 109s, Littlebigs. The top opening is going measure smaller when comparing them head to head. For most of you, sticking to your tts is the right move. If your tts in alpha bottoms leans loose, stay tts. If it leans tight, size up. You probably don't need to size down, but you can definitely get away with it. The waistband can stretch an additional 5”from the relaxed width, though stretching it 2-3” (5cm-7.5cm) will offer the best balance of stability and comfort. Worth nothing that the inseam is slightly smaller than Paragliders; short kings rejoice. If you’re taller, skip machine drying.

When you first get them, they might feel comically wide and flat. Trust me and wash them first. The fit dials in perfectly afterwards.

Shrinkage

If you wash cold and hang dry, there’s no shrinkage. If you wash warm and hang dry, it’ll shrink marginally. If you wash warm and machine dry, it will shrink, though it’s not dramatic. The waistband shrinks approximately 1.5” (3.75cm), but stretches back after wearing. The inseam shrinks 1” (2.5cm), and the leg opening about 0.5” (1.25cm).

Care

Don’t think about it. Throw it in the washer. Machine dry it. If you spill something on it, you will need to treat it to get the stain out but it generally comes out without any fuss.

TLDR

I love this material and pant cut, but there’s no denying it’s expensive. The Cannabiscotton Cruisers release price is $450. I believe they are worth it, but they are absolutely a luxury. If you’re price conscious, there are cheaper options. Injex Paragliders typically retail for $350, and Futurecruisers around $250. They won’t hit the same, but they will satisfy. Both of those are dropping later this summer.

Cannabiscotton is a fantastic material. It’s durable, wears cool and develops a lovely patina with age. If you’ve never tried it, I highly recommend it. One of the best hemp products I’ve tried. These pants aren’t ideal for hot summer days, but they’re perfect during spring, autumn and summer nights. They’re also fantastic year-round lounge pants. If you own Paragliders, the pockets are a downgrade but they’re still fantastic. The waistband loses the side adjustments but I honestly think this waistband is superior.

Stick with your tts when ordering. Don’t stress when washing or taking care of these; throw them in the machine and wear them without worry.

As usual, if I didn’t mention something, or if you’ve got questions, ask away.
