I keep blowing the knees out of my work pants (aka old jeans with repaired knees) so today I ordered a pair of purpose-made work pants, with heavy fabric, reinforced knees, and lots of extra pockets and loops. They were delivered in just a few hours!? Okay then.
They look good, and I'm reticent to wear them and get them covered in paint and dirt. lol
I guess work pants without wear and stains don't give you any street cred, so I should just jump in and do some messy things.

It is interesting to read about the invention of these "non-fossil" plastics: there is a lot to learn!

in reply to rag. Gustavino Bevilacqua • •@rag. Gustavino Bevilacqua @Ross of Ottawa these days it's not made from rayon, the one I've used for backpacks is 100% dinosaur feed… er… nylon and I know that they make blends with cotton for garments, but the strength part comes from the nylon content.
I didn't know that the name went that far back!
