Les Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 aaaaah, I remember my first rubber hose! Seems like it was just yesterday. My all time favorite was a leg from panty hose; ends cut out and saturated with clear two part epoxy to patch a cast iron pipe. No, I do not have a photo.

Mark P Posted December 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Yes - I feel like a proud father. I once had a favorite leg - but that is another story. I also once had a male friend who wore panty hose under his jeans in the winter because he swore they kept him warmer then long johns - but that is yet another story.

Erby Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 I agree with Les! Been there - done that. When there's a minus 80 degree wind chill, and you HAVE to be out in it to earn a living, you'll try almost anything to stay warm. Dang, maybe I shoulda just tried welfare and video games.

John Kogel Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 I saw one of those rad hose traps in 1963, at the gas station where I swept the floor. So under the tight jeans and manly footwear, you'all got pantyhose on? Hahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les -- Wearing hose just because you want to doesn't count. And it better be REALLY cold... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Whitmore Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Wearing hose just because you want to doesn't count. I've heard that wearing them under your socks will help prevent blisters while hiking in steep mountain terrain. I've been meaning to try this out for a while now.

hausdok Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Hey, That looks like the hose I need for my Packard! ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 I know it may seem weird, but I learned to wear them from real deal Ironworkers in Chicago! No white or colors, just plain ole Taupe with a cotton crotch. After a few days outside on the iron, you can sing all the soprano parts in Carmen!
