        Just wait until you feel how soft those get after a few months.

          I'm looking forward to it… they're so infused with starch, and are so thick it's like wearing sandpaper. Lol

            Yeah that's the sizing. You can dampen the backs of your knees and lap and wear em until they are dry the first couple days to use the sizing to your advantage.

              2 weeks, 1 day, 4 soaks.

              I got bruises on my hips from the last couple weeks, every time they seem to soften up a little I do a soak and it is right back to bruise city.

              Just got done with soak 5, I did some leave vacuuming Friday night (ya, I know how to party), and that was/is a dirty dusty mess, so I consequently was a dirty/dusty mess.

              (sorry about the dog hair, German Shepherds do that)

              Leaves, oh the tip of the iceberg, just wanted to get up the first big batch as it is supposed to raid for 4 days here.

              Close ups, you can see some of the dirt and dust embedded in there

                    I was wondering the same thing, but everyone has different methods I guess… He's got some amazing honeycombs showing already, so maybe he's onto something?? (That is one area that never developed well for me in the past)

                      @fanya , I have a Husky/ German Sheperd mix so I feel the pain of constant dog hair. I barely wear my ISW-23 as it is the biggest dog hair magnet known to man  😢

                                I did an initial soak (Friday the 6th), and a 2nd soak 2 days after because there were a couple creases I was trying to massage out (the 8th).  Then a 3rd soak Thurs the 12th because I forget why. And then Sunday the 15th because clean for the work week.  And again on the 22nd to be clean for the work week, and well they were dirty as shit from leaf vacuuming.

                                But as to the general why of how come so many soaks, that's a pretty deep rabbit hole question, and probably make me look crazy.

                                But, I'll make a lengthier post as to the why, at the end of the week or two, when I get time, maybe Sunday during the football game if school goes well. (so I can grab some pictures as well) (I haven't forgot about it @Matty123 )

                                But I do weekly soaks if at all possible, especially if they are worn daily.

                                @Megatron1505 sounds like a great mix for a dog  😃

                                      we should have a Most Least Impressive Fade category. think i’d give you a run for your money.
