Always. I don't know where they've been and who's been touching them before I got ahold of them, and fabrics are often treated with chemicals to reduce wrinkles or have unset dyes.

The only time I've ever washed new clothes before wearing them is the few times I purchased jeans which specifically said to wash separately before wearing because they would bleed during the initial washing. Otherwise, new and unwashed is fine with me.

Do you wash new clothes before wearing them? Not used thrift store clothes but new wrapped in plastic type clothes.
Why?
Why not?
No. One I am not allergic to anything they put on it and two I like the feel of new. Once washed clothes seem to lose something unless I starch the hell out of them. If you buy a wool coat you don't wash it do you? Or do you send everything to the dry cleaners when you first buy them. Bathing suits on the other hand, yes.
