Crease and re-mist
Back in the 80's I'd hang in country bars and always wanted my jeans creased. I'd iron them and re-mist them and iron them and re-mist them until they were razor sharp.
Truth: I went to country bars Lie: I enjoyed the music Truth: The women were hot Lie: I never met any Truth: I ironed the shit out of my jeans Lie: They were razor sharp |

People still do that? Haven't ironed my jeans since I was 12.

When I was in Infantry Training School I’d see many of the black guys walking around with pressed jeans from the dry laundry. Considering what we brought home in pay, they were wasting all their beer money on laundry. Go figure.

I grew up wearing Tough Skins from Sears. No ironing necessary. Those thick ****ers would stand up on their own.

I remember one of the color correct guys I used back in the day actually had seams sewn in his jeans so it looked like creases !

We're getting change for gym class and one of the black guys started complaining about the size of the lockers because the way he had to put his jeans away and he didn't have an iron. I remember looking right out of like it was yesterday and said who the **** irons their jeans? Apparently black guys. |

I've been in a few country singles bars after midnight:

Most of my pants were corduroy back in the 60's. Figured as long as I had the iron out I might as well. Besides, due to being fascinated by anything electrical I could have ironed everything in the house without giving it a second thought

You never saw that at "that other place" where I posted it more than once? (I think. ) Somebody made a thread about shaving, electric vs. raazors or something.
Been a few years, it was in the "Raaz" archives. You're almost as popular as Yaddy -- he's in "High cotton." Raaz folder: 129 images Yaddy folder: 145 images |

I'd forgotten about those. We always shopped at Sears. For everything! Tough Skins were one of the few articles of clothing that could be donated after we outgrew them. The other stuff would be shredded. I seem to remember that they had a rubberized coating on the inside around the knee area?

I heard you lived in a van down by the river and cooked meth 14 hours a day and drank Bud Light.
