Washing new clothes...

[Daitokuji]

You go to the store to buy new clothes. You take the clothes you just bought home. Do you wash those new clothes before wearing them? A co-worker of mine said that's what she does. I've never heard of anyone doing this, so I ask do any of you here or even have heard of people doing this?

I typically do that as well to get the wrinkles from folding out.

I don't wash them but I double check to make sure I am buying something new. I guess it wouldn't hurt.

I ussually wear whatever it is twice before washing it, just so it still looks new. Once the washing begins, so does the fading/degradation.

Depends if it's something that other people could have been trying on. I usually try to wash it first, but I've run into situations where I needed something clean and just grabbed some new article of clothing I had bought and put it on.

Seems to me like shirts would be a bigger wash priority than jeans, which are typically a lot more durable to dirt and whatnot. Also peoples armpits stick and aren't protected against the material with underwear a lot of the time.

I don't usually wash them immediately.

Goddamn metrosexuals... When will you go out of fashion? Are you the same guy that started the "toiletpaper fold" thread?
