Random Fashion Thoughts (Part 3: Style farmer strikes back) - our general discussion thread

Hang dry is a good thing but what if you leave things overnight? Aren’t there things crawling all over your garments that a quick 5-10 minute warm dryer will rid of.

Where are you living, 1850s London?

The fear is real, man!

Read The Secret Life of Germs. It’s fascinating. It inspired me to buy a couple of those little bacteria-busting light wands to wave over every unsavory thing (and some savory things).

Wtf is wrong with you it's cheaper to hang dry and better for clothes and the environment. Unless you need something right away there's no need to.

You sick ****

Unless you have a sanitizing setting, a clothes dryer's not hot enough to de-germ anything.

Pretend that you stayed up all night watching your clothes dry. Would you expect in the morning the clothes you were wearing would be crawling with whatever you imagine the hanging clothes to be crawling with, and if not, why not?

Isn’t the expectation that the washing machine, with all its strident soaps and agitation, would kill the germs?

Our dryer has a ‘sanitize’ setting, but it rarely even dries the load.

I just can't be bothered to baby my clothing anymore. I realized a couple of years ago my clothing doesn't really age because I baby it so much and I grow out of it or tired of it before it reaches end of life. So I'm just enjoying stuff for myself and not the next owner, but not like I'm buying anything nice these days anyways. I'll tumble dry my button downs for like 15minutes then hang dry them, but only because they come out a tangled crinkled mess in the dryer.

I know right. But honestly, I've become to prefer fintage fades on my japanese jawnz compared to the high contrast fades I use to go for.

StyleForum guys: "Can I get measurements to the nearest 1/8" of an inch?"

Also StyleForum guys: "Lemme just throw this thing in the dryer right quick"

Good point. Medical folks are advised to lather up for at least 20 seconds when hand washing, to kill bacteria. So your crapped-up clothes swirling away in an agitator for 20 minutes oughta well do the trick. But am not the best one to comment here since I sleep in my clothes and change briefs only weekly. Well not really change, turn inside out.

Ok, you may actually have creepy crawlies in your denim.
