@Gerry Nelson the cord looks great.

Anyone have experience machine washing/drying EG cotton jackets?

Just got an older Bedford that could certainly use a wash, but a little shrinkage from a dryer wouldn't hurt. For what it's worth, I wash/dry anything I own that's cotton.

I've washed a ripstop jacket on a cool wash and it was fine, but I hang dry rather than use dryers.

I've done both. No issues, but drying in a dryer could produce some fading/marking depending on the type of cotton. Not necessarily a bad thing.


Thanks for the replies! I think I'm gonna give it a go. The fabric is a slightly spongy HBT-ish weave and it's a little faded to begin with. Hopefully it works out alright.
