Am always amazed at how well the clothing comes up after a simple cold water wash, after going into the machine looking like a murder scene and stinking of stag urine, death and pig shit. I wear Ridgeline, German surplus and Tru-Spec trousers mostly.

I just don't show the wife what it looks (and smells) like before it goes in her machine.

Since you are into 'German surplus' Flyblown, I happen to have a German here who is surplus to requirements.
