Barbecue Sauce
Got some on my pants while I was eating a steak last night. Feeling pretty fucked. What’s a good way to get barbecue sauce (or other staining substances) out of a pair of jeans you’re not willing to wash?

The fit.

After talking with a friend about finding a cool way to use a generally arbitrary theme to tie blog entries together, I decided this could be a good one. So, for a year I’ll chronicle my life in these new Cheap Mondays—a mid-range skinny raw jean—from the way that I maintain them...
