I mean, I accept that many people on these forums are true aficionados and want to treat their clothing in a very particular way simply because they love them - the way you might want to keep your high performance car in an elegant garage - not that it makes it perform any differently. But others, while we appreciate the look and feel of fine clothes, lean a bit more towards the practical side of things, and where there are tradeoffs to be made - be it money, or space, or effort, or what have you - we appreciate having a bit clearer sense of the functional utility of certain practices to decide if it's worthwhile for us.That would be interesting too. When you consider the amount of consideration and money it costs to put together a nice wardrobe, it seems like there would maybe be more definitive, detailed answers to basic care questions. I'm sure that so many people, myself included, ruin a lot of clothes to figure out the answers for themselves. A lot of that anecdotal evidence get shared on wonderful forums like this. But it seems like maybe someone somewhere wants to do a study to publish somewhere and some of these questions could be taken up systematically in a well-designed experiment.
