If it was me, I would take the first pair off first. Just a suggestion...Last time I bought jeans ( Bass Pro shop ) - I bought two pair. That was 16 years ago. I'm still wearing the first pair. Maybe I should start wearing the second pair.
I often dress in two layers. -15 isn't bad as long as you dress for it, much better than 90 which is just way too freaking hot.Got to thinking. There have been a couple times when I DID wear two layers. Sweats under jeans. It was -15F and colder outside. No idea what in Hell got me outside those times but I sure don't do that stupid thing anymore.
RK stores are only located in states east of the Mississippi River.If you have a Rural King near you buy a pair of 'RK' brand blue jeans for $9.99. RK jeans are offered in a wider size selection than Walmart.
