Holy Cow Destry..... I've worn Carhart pants out in 30days before. They certainly never last more than one 3-4 month season; after that they become my 'dress pants' for town use only.....

One could only imagine the story that seamstress of the upholstry shop has to tell every time someone walks through the doors wanting something out-of-the-ordinary done. It might go something like this: "Yes sir, we can do anything, one time we had this grizzly old duck hunter that came in wanting his stinky old 5XL bibbed overalls sewn up, I myself had to wear a heavy duty jump suit, industrial rubber gloves and a gas mask to git'r done...but we did"

I had a pair of Filson Tin pants that I wore for work for 20yrs... and yes, they were still waterproof and I had never rewaxed them as they did not give out a can with them back then. I had saved the leg portion I cut off when I shortened them for my stumpy legs and at about 15yrs had to use that to splice on new leg bottoms. These things looked pretty rude and funny but were still pretty much functional. Finally they started to tear out and I boxed them up and sent to Filson in Seattle to use for advertising... never heard from them I suspect they evacuated the office when they opened them. Always wondered what happened with them. Maybe I should have sent them as hazardous cargo....

Rich, that Beaver in the Filson catalogs has been patched several times with sections of your donated Tin Pants.

Omar, your personal tailor in Dearborn (Allah be praised...), should be able to make you a custom pair out of ballistic cloth...

Destry,
From what I have herd you should also toss that hat of yours in there with the pants. One more thing, take them to the laundry mat so you don't gum up your own washer and dryer. Bill

Dean, Don is referring to the tailor and tentmaker, not to the customer. The customer goes by his real given name, or his awarded moniker, "You da man".
