Hoo boy, I can’t wait to see what kind of situation I’m about to get myself into here.
Women’s/girls’ clothing also seems of worse quality on average than men’s/boys’. I suppose this is just another form of the pink tax, but I’ve learned a few ways to make items last a little longer over the years. I’ll share them in the hope it brings you, the comrade reading this, the information you need to keep your favorite garment in rotation longer.
Learn to sew buttons back on and keep the tools on hand to do so. Wrap the thread around the underside of the button a few times once you’ve sewn it on before tying off to add some extra strength to the threads holding it on.
Washing machines are rough on clothes. Buy large lingerie bags to put anything delicate in. If your washer likes to eat the drawstrings of your sweatpants? Bag 'em. If your long johns keep getting tangled up with other garments and stretching out? Bag 'em. They’re also really nice at keeping my socks from getting lost in the wash.
And this one isn’t so much a durability tip, so much as it is a buying one, but if you aren’t looking at what fibers the garment is made of, you should be. Natural fibers breathe better and feel better on the skin than synthetics. I think there are some hi-tech synthetics that are better now but cotton beats the shit out of polyester and acrylic in every metric I care about.
If you do live in bumfuck, NW, they have shipping but don’t expect prime shipping speeds. Get a cloth measuring tape and measure garments that fit you well and compare them to the sizing charts. I can’t speak to their men’s sizing charts but the women’s are reliable enough and they’ve got a little slider indicator key for if it runs small or large.
Roll tide? But on a serious note, I believe you mentioned you went to UA. Any particular thoughts on your time in Alabama and the politics there?
BTS’s fanclub is already called ARMY. Just need to give them some training and munitions and yeah I think you’re on to something
I would like someone to foamsplain the advantages and disadvantages of using a wider or narrower gauge, please.
My experience with the women play-hitting on each other thing has been a sort of counter to how shitty we all were to each other because of petty jealousy as teens. Might be I’m just bad at reading when women are actually hitting on me, but when I do it’s that’s my intent. I’ve got no problem telling a friend when they look especially cute.
If him being forced into buying Tw*tter and then mishandling it also takes down Tesla I’m going to :crab-party:
