I wear them straight out the store. I like to leave the tags on them and everything.

When my son was little, he broke out in a rash after getting him new sheets. We just got in that habit of washing everything new packaged or not.

You gotta wash that! How do you know how many filthy people have tried that stuff on before you bought it?

Take a good whiff next time you have a new piece of clothing. It usually smells like chemicals and dye. Should go through 1 cycle before wearing.




Exactly my take on this. To me, new clothes have an unpleasant smell, so they go in the washer before I wear them.

I wash them just to get the smell of the store out of the clothes. I wash new jeans to make them more comfortable. They're all stiff and scratchy to me if you don't wash jeans.

Those clothes don't get washed before they're imported.
I always wash.

I wash them. Don’t care if buying online or in store. Especially in store. Don’t know who has tried on those clothes before I did.

Sending you a worn unreturned item. Don't think for a second they won't. But, you do you.

Was first in all cases because I don’t like the feel of new material!

Wash them first. Mainly because I don't like the chemical smell of new shirts.

I don't wash new stuff but I don't fault anyone that does. I get the theoretical concern that someone else you don't know has potentially tried that garment on before but my laziness exceeds my germaphobia.

If the ol' lady brings home some new Sunday Wranglers or new PFG shirts, I always make sure they go in the Speed Queen first, Baw.

I used to not care and just wear new clothes off the rack then my friend said I was trashy for not washing new clothes before wearing them. I felt guilty and now I wash all new clothes before wearing them. I feel better now that I'm not trashy.

Everything but socks. I like the feel of new socks so for the first wear I just take them straight out the pack.

I try to avoid washing new clothes for at least 6 months.

Many Old Navy jeans have stained my white Adidas.

Usually get washed first. But I am not adverse to just wearing either.
