Otherwise, I just have my valet sleep in them for a couple days to break them in. Then I wear them for a week or two and throw them away.

I never wash brand new underwear or undershirts

I never wash brand new dress slacks

I never wash brand new socks

I never wash brand new sweaters [especially since they are outer wear]

I do wash new jeans and put them in the dryer

I have some new sweaters that Ive worn several times during the winter as out garments and they still have never been washed.

I prefer not to wash dress clothing before wearing because I like them to look crisp and new and retain that sharp appearance, because just one washing often makes clothes look "used".

AR_Shorty Team Member Joined Jun 2001 Posts 1278 EE Offline PA, USA	Posted: 3/14/2005 6:01:55 AM EST I've learned from experience that I need to wash jeans before wearing. Twice I've worn new jeans without washing them first, and they gave me a horrible rash that lasted almost a week. I think it was due to sweating in them and causing something to leach out of the denim. The rash was worse around the inner thigh area, where you sweat more. Not fun.
	Trust me, I know what I'm doing.

one reason I prefer not to wash brand new dress clothing is because I dont like the lint and slight fading after washing, plus it washes out the nice flat creases on your dress trousers and they dont look as sharp and crisp, unless you re-starch them, and if you dont apply the starch correctly it causes starch marks or flaking.
