Good evening gents
I've just received some corduroys ( and moleskins), and I've been advised by the shop (cordings) to have them dry-cleaned as this should preserve their appearance better. I plan to follow this advise and have them dry-cleaned.
However, I've been told by someone that it might be a good idea to wash them once without detergent just to get them to shrink before finishing the legs, so they're shrunk in case I get caught in the rain or something like that, and that this one detergent-free wash won't affect the appearance.
Does anyone have any experience with this? Will they still look as good after one detergent-free wash, or is it just the act of getting them wet the first time that impairs the appearance?
Thank you in advance.
