Default Cleaning Draggin jeans.

Morning all. Just a quick query.

Right. I have a set of Draggin jeans and I am concerned with how I clean them. It says on the label cold wash, but I tend to bung them in with my other washing on a normal 40 degree cycle.

Am I going to do them any damage/compromise the kevlar etc?

Cheers!

Graham

Kevlar is man made (bit like nylon) and the jeans are just that, think they'll stand a 40 degree wash mate.

Cheers Mark.

yep, slung far too many oily grubby pairs of draggin jeans in the washer...and thats just his. Mine aren't grubby, but still go in the wash......they don't compromise the make up of the fabrics....just the colours don't hold too well...but saying that we have had ours a few years now.
