Siver Pants-"Dry clean only"......

[Barmski]

ok someone who has them please explain....

 

[eheath]

Proabably means you have to dry clean them, and if you dont know what that is, you are pathetic.

 

[Ruski]

yeah im not gonna lie...i dnt know what that means, i dnt do laundry...

 

[BallinBU]

i doubt they are dry clean only... most ski clothes say do not dry clean

 

[Jibber*chic]

I would also iron them, if i was you....

 

[Barmski]

Umm im not idiot, if you have the common sense to see where I was going with it which is-how many people are actually gonna dry clean em- i wana hear people that have just washed em and see how they turned out. Wow so many condescending comments on this site its incredible.

my siver jacket is jacked and stained like no other, i just througjh it in the washer then hang it ot to dry

 

[johnwiechecki]

Yeah I cold wash mine and hang dry...I wouldn't risk the dryer.

If you put it in the washer and dryer it kills the waterproofing, but oh well.

 

[ecthree]

oh my fuck i've see it all, i'm going to try to drink myself to death tonight.

 

[Subjekt]

my mom threw my siver shit in the dryer while i was out cuz it was wet, and i never even thought about it till now, theres nothing wrong with it.

you can/must wash your jackets. do not use a liquid detergent with phosphates or added perfumes and most definately DO NOT use fabric softner. a powder detergent, nikwax, or any detergent designed for waterproof clothing on a cold cycle works well. also, contrary to popular belief, you should tumble dry on low for about 30 minutes. the dryer restores the properties of the dwr finish making it waterproof once again.

 

[BallinBU]

siver shit isn't waterproof in the first place so you don't need to worry about it wearing off

 

[wolfmansbro]

if it says dry clean only then i would listen to that little tap and do just that, or expect to be soaking wet during the next storm, but hell siver stuff is shit for waterproof so it may not matter

 

[R.Fahey]

yeah.. most stuff from other brands say "Do not Dry Clean". That is interesting.

 

[Crock360]

"this shirt is dry-clean only which means.....it's dirty."

 

[*emma*]

It just means you have to be careful with it. I put my siver pants in teh washer, but not the dryer. YOu just hang it on a hanger to dry, adn it will be alright and won't hurt the waterproofing at all

 

[Jwenz]

doubt it,

I'm bringing this back up cause I'm looking to clean some Siver Pants. Looks like no one on NS knows what dry cleaning is though from the responses in this thread. You know how you seldom wash a dress suit (dresses too?) and when you do, you need to take it to some shop place to get it cleaned? That's what dry cleaning is. Has anyone done it with their pants as instructed on the tag?

My siver jacket says machine wash cold so it's definitely not applied to all siver products and only to the pants because they're different in some way I guess.

Read it and stop with the mis-information already.

PS - If a tag says "Dry Clean Only" follow the damn instructions and have it dry cleaned. if you don't know what that is, ask your mom.
