[TheForge] 5. Re: Hand cream

[Jerry Frost]

On MY recommendation and you're NOT gunning for me? . . . Uh, ARE you?

My thoughts on Carharts too, not durable enough for the money anymore. Do 
you remember when a new pair of 501 Levis took a couple washings just to 
break em in and then they'd outlast a couple hand-me- downs?

Firehose is tough stuff and makes fine abuse resistant clothing.
