Laundering tip
Zip up the pants and button all the fastenings before laundering. You will be less likely to have a weak spot develop in your zipper that could fail at an inopportune moment.

No, it wasn't me.

One tip that I have is to wash everything in cold water and do not dry anything...ever...let them air dry... eben if B'ball's little smilie face throws up on you. Works best for me and my stuff stays looking good for a long time!

Just don't leave cash in your pockets or you may be arrested for money laundering.

(I actually thought that was what money laundering meant as a kid, and never understood why people got arrested for it).

Why bother with the washing machine. When I get home, as soon as I get out of my car I go to the back yard, pull out the hose and spray them down. This works really well.

It's been way to cold around here to do that. Well I guess if you were take them off first, it would be ok.

Got back Friday night and it was 15 degrees below zero. Don't think that would work well here. It was bad enough that I left my duffel in the car all day long and then changed into my uni at the game site.

No, but it took awhile to get to room temperature.
