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? |

Mine aren't really dirty, they just smell heavily of indigo. I've only been wearing mine since mid summer and the wear is just now starting to show, so I don't think I'm going to wash any time soon. Wash machines also seem to be the best way to lose indigo, but idk. I'm wearing Levi's 501's, but it's not the $40 pair. It was ~$80 iirc. If I do wash, I'll wash by hand using woolite black w/ room temp - cool water.
