  • No, who's got the time for that? Besides, it's new, therefore it's clean.

Yes. I wash before wearing. I do this with all fabrics, sheets, towels, clothes, etc. I have a good reason.

New fabrics that you buy in the store have a layer of pesticides embedded in them to kill off insects that might get into them. I don’t want my skin rubbing up against a layer of pesticides. And, it always has a bit of a funny odor until you wash it out.
 
yup, if it's from a department store who knows who tried it on before :shrug:
if it's from Amazon who knows where it came from :shrug:

It really depends on the type and where I get it. I get work jeans and overalls at Tractor Supple and will always wash them. Any thing from Walmart. Anything shipped. Working, I would get white dress shirts monogramed on the pocket or cuff for court days. They were stick pinned together prior to packaging. Each had about 10 pins holding it together. The collars were so perfect and crisp. Usually wore them once before washing.
