Semper Fi!

This is like watching Heartbreak Ridge with Clint Eastwood studying up on supermarket check out line magazines to find a softer side and win back Marsha Mason...snivel..weep..so very touching that we're having an unofficial USMC laundry circle...tell me there's not a powerful God in the world...

My caramel/Carhardtt/solid camo here in the red rock country Workman's has softened up pretty well. I used the unscented Downey stuff and washed it in cold water about six times, then hung dry. I wear it a lot to hike and that's helped too...I'm sure its been sandblasted a bunch from blowing sand.

I've had that pleat fold thing too, but think it has more to do with the manner of construction than the softness of the fabric. Seems to happen to me when I'm at an AA meeting...get enough grief (though its moderating) from being kilted without having to reach down and straighten my pleats in the middle of a meeting....

Guess I need to watch Heartbreak Ridge again and get the names of those magazines...
