Miramar Tactical cargo shorts say dry clean only, they're are made of cotton and nylon so not sure why. I know for some denim it says to dry clean but I get that.
Sometimes it has to do with how the two materials interact with the washing/drying process. The cotton may shrink, whereas the nylon would not, which would deform the pants. You could hand wash them in cold water and hang dry them.

it’s far easier to handwash or launder an item if it’s all made out of the same material because any shrinkage would be consistent through out the item.

hope that helps

Scarabs really are the absolute Grail grey wash.

how do y'all pull off the t underneath the hoodie/sweats look? everytime I try, the tshirt gets bunched up and looks ass. It's not like my hoodie/sweats are tight as well

Yea I was never able to get that look down. It looks bad whenever I do it. The tee gets all scrunched up and sloppy under the hoodie. I just tuck it in for a cleaner look lol.

You gotta buy the inner layer OS stuff (t shirt) 1 size down, and the outerwear TTS. That’s how I get it to work.

2/m beach hoodie, 1/s AE for me gets that look going
