Hey, how do you wash your EG pants? Specifically Fatigue/Ground... I've been just putting them in wash on cold then tumble dry low and hot iron... Is that bad?

The dryer is pretty damaging. The only clothes I put in there are socks, underwear, and whatever I just wear around the house. Everything else gets hang-dried after being washed on a cold, delicate cycle.

I wash in either cold or warm water (usually cold) and then hang dry. The few times I've dried them in the dryer (particularly my Workaday 41 chinos), they've definitely shrunk in length and in the top block.

Never put anything you care about in the dryer if you can help it.
The only exception are some heavy weigh japanese denim I own which is slightly big anyway so any shrinkage is minimal.

^ If you're spending good money on any piece of clothing that you intend on wearing/owning long term, then invest the time and energy to launder with care. In addition, or as an alternative, find and stick to a professional dry cleaner who you trust in and can rely on to properly look after all your clothing.

I also noted much of the SS17 care instructions all feature (F) which denoted the "premium" dry cleaning methods whixh use fluorocarbons. Expensive is an understatement, so make sure you check carefully before you launder anything EG.
