Those of you who wear raw denim, have y'all washed it before? I'd like to give them a wash to shrink it a bit but don't want to lose any indigo. Soooo:

How well does Woolite Black work?
Dry cleaners?
Showering with them?
Soaking in cold tub?

Firstly wash them inside out. Don't use an extreme temperature, cool or cold water. I think putting them in the dryer tends to make them shrink, so either let them lay flat to dry or put them in the dryer on its least harsh setting (my dryer says delicate). And yes, if you have it, use Woolite Black.
