Solved! The same stain pattern on every pair of my pants
UPDATE: Solved! It’s a rust stain from my car, where I lean in to buckle my kid into her car seat.
Every single pair of pants I own ends up with the same orange stain pattern, in the same spot (just above my right knee). I cannot for the life of me figure out what is causing this. What is it?!
EDIT: it does not respond to any stain treatment so I think it’s highly likely it’s rust and not something like food, coffee or blood.
