Default Wash yo pants

So.... has anyone tried washing their new uniform pants? I think they're 69% wool so it's a risky proposition.

they won’t shrink - make sure you hang them to dry

I let my haggars patina in the knee's in a slight shade of gray, for that vintage look. Seriously the haggars or any other black pant matches with the new jacket close enough unless your examining it under some dental exam light.

Wasted item, much like our current crew meals. Just give me extra cash or invest that negotiating time in something worthwhile. Only thing being dry cleaned is my jacket, once a year.

Lol, for real? I don't even have the new pants. I guess that why it's good to be the boss. I can assure you, I'll never be policing what pants the FO is wearing, unless they're not black lol.

Place I use hands out bags with bar codes on them. It’s tied to your account and they use your standing order. Toss the stuff in the bag after each trip, swing by and place in the chute.

Dry clean pants after each trip. Shirts get folded and boxed. Swing by once a month and get the next month’s gear.

Look sharp, be sharp.
