and wash my Carhartt bib overalls for the first time in 12 years. I've been hunting pretty hard already this season and they've reached a state of fragrance that's usually only achieved around late December. By then waterfowling is almost over and I can lay them aside to air out till the following September.
For some reason this year it's just not working out, the smell is slightly unbearable even after I've had them on all day and should be used to it. I'm afraid that the dirt and dried blood is the only thing still holding them together. I'd hate to have to buy a new pair, these are still perfectly good. I even spent $7 taking them to the upholstery shop to have a split in the leg sewed up just just last year.
Wish me luck, they're only the third pair I've ever had in my life. I made the second pair last from age 16 until 28 by using the same system of only allowing the rain to wash them and the sun to dry them. My first pair was hand me down from my older brother so they don't count as he washed them all the time and nearly wore them out before I got them.
I'm going to have to break down......
