High back pants

[Jmort1754]

Long story short I have a bunch of hardware in my lower back.

I'm looking for a high back pant...
Is there any input on the kings xhg vs the kuiu proximity ?

I feel like my proximity is high in the back. I haven’t worn them since last year so I don’t remember exactly how high but it is noticeable.

These, and the jacket, are amazing. Warm, though.

OP, hunt around here for the thread by @THLR where he also specifically covers high-backed pants ...

How do you clean yours? I've held off on doing anything to them, but at the moment they have a good bit of blood, etc. from a field dressing. The website goes to some length to caution against any cleaning, recommending spot cleaning, or to dry clean, or do a cold wool cycle (no drying). I use that approach for all other wool, but I want to see if you or anyone else has done a machine wash without shrinkage.

EDIT - hydrogen peroxide seems to work to get the blood out, but I'd still like to follow-up with a cold machine wash (using wool detergent).

I just wash them in cold gentle or whatever. Probably a dozen times now. Pull them out, and air dry.

If you want a hot tip - or a rabbit-hole to go down (it'll be in the eye of the beholder) - sites that have information on washing babies' woolen overnaps have great information on wool cleaners.

But to spare you the hours of distraction: my memory is that Seventh Generation wool wash was recommended ... and Disana, who really lead the whole baby overnap game, have some incredible products, including ox-gall soap, which works well on stains on wool (https://disana-shop.com/Ox-Gall-Soap/2363). They also have a liquid lanolin that can waterproof wool while still leaving it breathable.

[This is really contributing to my sense that between fishnets, the politics of tourniquets, and washing woolens ... you and I have a very strange online relationship ...]

If you say “rabbit hole” it’s like the Ren & Stimpy below.

I ended up taking mine to the dry cleaners (I was too impatient to await a more reasonable approach from you and Form.) It didn’t help when Mrs fwafwow said “just clean them. If they shrink you can just buy another pair.” She’s the opposite of frivolous with money, so she has no idea how much I paid for them, especially after tailoring. BTW, narrowing the pockets and adding zippers make these already good pants about perfect.

For your sake, I really hope those are the only rabbit holes we have both gone down!

You couldn't wait one day for me or @Formidilosus?

And I spent three minutes of my life giving you good wool care advice for nothing?

Prepare to meet my wrath ...
