those aren’t storm clouds. battening the hatches and gearing up to leave as the threat of wildfires is getting much too close for comfort. there’s are large fire burning about 20 miles east of me here in oregon. i did give my jeans another soak yesterday. 

Good luck, hope you all stay safe and the fires get under control 

Wow, those pics are fierce 

Stay safe and hope things improve 

Makes me appreciate the dark skies we grumble about in the UK a bit more 

Happy birthday @volvo240thebest!

@el padre is that the cone or the malibu cowboy jacket? looks NICE!

Thanks! It's malibu. I love it. I'm a sucker for this mid-blue shade. Child of the 70s I guess :-)

It's a little big, so I used hot water and a dryer to shrink it.

Looks great @kameisenpai!

Went for a hike out in marin. A little worried I’m gonna blow the crotch on these really early. Guess I’ll cross that bridge when I get there

Great views!

Yeah I tend to kill crotches as well. Hoping these are just loose enough to not blow

Agreed, the differences make it a difficult pear of brands to choose between.

They're both berry good in their own way though

dad, your hands have gone blue!

ps for clarity, this was from being out walking with my hands in my pockets. I'm not sitting here frantically rubbing fades into my lap.

@breakingfad Mine did similar, 84 -> 81

@Darren Barbera don't worry about water fading them. Mine looked no different after a 30 degree machine wash. I doubt they'd look much different if I washed them every day for a month. Time does the fading.

They're still chucking indigo all over the place, to the extent that one of my kids was worried for my health ("dad, your hands have gone blue! are you feeling OK?"), but they're still darkly rich with it.

That fit is so good @el padre !

Thank you sir!

I got more shrink at 30 degrees on the one wash version. But they stretch back so easy in the waist. I'm concerned my ass is going to stretch and sag too but let's face it, I can't see it, and no-one else wants to, so not a big deal these days

@SLAB that cuffing looks good to me. 

I've been rolling between double and triple cuffs, depending how fresh my ankles want to feel. I dunno if triple is wrong but I kind of like the way it weights them on a looser fit. But autumn is coming and the breeze is picking up, and so I suspect those days will soon be gone

Muffin cuffin', I think is the technical term

"measure your waist italian style"

I measured my waist british style

= breathe in, pull the tape as tight as it goes, ignore whatever it says, and use the measurement it would have been in the late nineties instead

My kidneys are balanced on top of my lungs until I get enough stretch to fit them back in where they're supposed to be

@Nayuta @Ar_thor @mandel9000 you people with actual genuine cats feel like you're definitely winning this thing so far...

Great words @beautiful_FrEaK.
