New clothes

[FaceYourNemesis]

This is something which bugs me. Personally, I have to wash any new items before I don them for the first time

Don't believe I ever have, but not sure! Most of my clothes come from theme parks and concerts so I usually wear the new clothes the next day!

I've never even thought about it to be honest. A lot of stuff i get is from online so not sure anyone would have had the chance to try it on beforehand.

Although if your in a shop i suppose there is a chance someone has already tried on that same shirt or jeans, would the vendor wash them if someone had tried on and not purchased? I know Topman and some other places take the clothes you've tried from you if you don't want to buy them.

Unless it smells dodgy I wouldn't bother, and i don't think i ever have

Nah, not at all. I don't even iron new formal shirts after I've taken them from the packaging and removed all of the numerous clips and bits of card.

^^ Do you not get those two creases coming down over your nipples though?

The feel of new clothes is amazing, that would be lost if you washed them straight away.

 

[Twister Zone]

No, it's never even crossed my mind to wash them before wearing.

Always wash them.

More of something the wife does before I get a chance to wear them, but they typically just go straight to the washer, unless it is a concert shirt.

If it's from a normal store, usually not. But, obviously if I get it from a second hand shop, I wash it. I don't feel like getting crabs.

Omg the silly amount of rubbish in shirt packaging really annoys me, you can spend a good 20 mins just trying to find all the little bits and pieces.

I don't tend to wash them either, we have a history in our house of clothes being ruined (shrinking etc) by being put in the wash so I have to make sure I get at least one day of wear out of them.
