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?

Woolite Dark may add something extra to keep the dye, but if you're going to hand wash it it shouldn't matter too much.
