How long have you gone before washing a new hoodie?

Got a new black american apparel hoodie the other day. I really don't want to wash it ever because its so fucking comfy, but I also don't want to end up smelling like a dirty hobo. If you wash a hoodie but don't put it in the drier will it still maintain its awesomeness?

I moved here a month ago and still haven't washed any of my hoodies. They last longer the more you don't wash them. If it smells or is dirty then wash it. I hate when people wear something once and have to wash it.

turn it inside out and use fabric softener. i've only washed my aa hoodie twice and i've had it for a couple months... but it's still as comfy as when I first got it.

Jeans and sweatshirts don't need to be washed unless they smell bad, and if you shower regularly, they shouldn't smell bad for a very long time.

If it's an expensive piece and you are seriously concerned about washing it, a $2 dry cleaning every few months is probably well worth it.

I am also concerned about maintaining my homemade hoodie's fleecyness. Will getting it drycleaned aid in this conundrum?

I went 6 months without managing to wash my sweater, i just managed to keep it fairly clean and spray some febreeze every once in a while. Until my girlfriend got drunk and got toothpaste all over it, fantastic.

If you really like the hoodie don't wear it when it can get dirty. If it doesn't get dirty you don't have to wash it.

I wash my hoodies if they're dirty or smell bad..Same with jeans. There is no need to wash jeans if they don't smell or are dirty.

put them in the freezer overnight if it is just sweat. cold kills bacteria and in the morning you will have a decent smelling hoodie. i have done this with my boot liners (summer setups and 80 degree weather is tough on them)

Not true.
You would be surprised how many clothes are American Apparel and you don't even realize it. American Apparel sells wholesale to a lot of companies and then they put their own brand on it.

For example:
My Trew hoodie is from American Apparel, as is my Salomon tall tee. Just look at the tags...

i wash all my stuff all the time. i'm a huge slob but im super anal about anything that might make me smell bad. i hate wearing even jeans twice, and i wash hoodies probably weekly. i also just can't go in public without showering. i havent been out without showering in literally a couple years as far as i can remember. oh wait there was a day here and there where i went the first half of the day without a morning shower, but basically nothing.

jeans and hoodies never have to be washed, unless you get hammered and puke on them, then you should wash them.

yes, only wash your clothes if you puke on them. no other time.


haha but really... and i cut my hand open on a can like 2 months ago and then bled all over my brand new armada hoodie. it all came out, just adding another reason to wash it.

reason 1: puke
reason 2: blood

if there is not puke and/or blood on it, don't wash it.

ya, dont wash it unless it really smells bad or there are stains on it or something, and when you do wash it, dont put it in the dryer, and dont hang it up to dry. the best way is to lay it flat on a table and let it dry like that, that way it doesnt alter the shape and shit

only when they're dirty, usually 2 weeks max, i tend to "live" in my clothing, i rather have an awesome hoody with grass stains, spilled beer and railmarks on it than having a clean hoodie and always having to care about keeping it clean.....
