Never buy camo hunting pants! - 10/03/20 06:23 PM

I'm thinking that something they use in the camo dye shrinks these pants when they are being stored from season to season. I don't even wash them but every year my pants get a little tighter. Next year, who knows, they may not fit at all? crazy It's gotta be the dye in the pants is all I can figure. Anyone else ever have this problem with mysteriously shrinking pants? wink grin

No It's not the dye It's that washing machine. Our washer also eats socks.

It even happened to my boots. They got too narrow during the off season. Guns getting heavier also.

I think it's a conspiracy by the antis to discourage hunting. Just sayin.

I think you're on to something. The dye used on my leather belts does the same thing.

How strange that ye should mention this very subject! Only the other day, having cleared some drawers out, I thought I'd wear these particular camo's. Put my legs in them. Pulled them up. Il Morte!!! I couldn't even get them up my hips! No way on gods little green earth were the two sides of the waist band coming anywhere Remotely near each other either!

Took me a moment to realise I'd put them away maybe eight years ago. LOT of stout under the bridge since then blush

I was thinking it must be the 20% oxygen in our atmosphere causing the problem, even my t shirts are shorter in the front. My power hunter goose blind even shrank and its never been washed or dried. grin

Get a good pair of running shoes. It seems to make all my clothes fit better, especially my pants. Who knew?

I think it is a seasonal thing where I live. In the late fall they are loose and by early spring they have shrunk a whole lot. The cold weather of winter must shrink the heck out of them.

Just to let you all know. I have called the FBI (again) crazy and told them of this conspiracy. I let them know that although I have no proof, I believe it was a China conspiracy since that's where this stuff is made. I told them that they have "Incredible shrinking ink"! I believe they where having some sort of party at the time because of all the laughter in the background. It's nice that our agents can still celebrate with all of the nastiness in the world. Anyway, they told me that this was "Top Priority" and called me a hero for pointing it out. They were putting their best agent on it. Some British fellow that is on loan. I believe his name is Bond? James Bond? Well, I'm glad I have gotten this taken care of!

You're the type of guy that goes to a magic show for 5 year old's and tells all the kids it's fake and how the tricks are done. Not only ruining the birthday party but killing the junior high school kids business to boot. Thanks' man! smirk

I guess you will have to resort to my tactics Finster... By pants 2 sizes big... and 2 pair of suspenders... one thin pair for church and one wide pair for hunting...
