chisag Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 ... Most of you probably know this, but just in case I thought I would post this for those that don't. Many years ago when I first started reviewing golf stuff I had a chance to meet John Ashworth and he gave me a tour of his warehouse. Back then most all golf clothing was cotton. John gave me a tip I have used ever since. "Always turn your shirts and pants inside out to wash and dry them. That way the wear and tear from the washing machine and dryer will occur on the inside where it can't be seen. Your clothes will last much longer and look much better after years of use." ... I have also found with modern washers that do not have an agitator and are very gentle, I need to wash my shirts and pants normally then I turn them inside out when I put them in the dryer.

RickyBobby_PR Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I never dry golf clothes. Always hang dry.

MaxEntropy Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Some of these newer fabrics are amazing, imo. The Puma shirt I won through the Cobra Connect Challenge is white. Me and white clothes normally do not mix - I've spilled on that shirt almost every time I've worn it, from coffee, to hamburger grease, to spaghetti sauce. A spritz of Shout and a gentle wash cycle and it comes out as good as new. It's supposed to lay flat to dry, but my wife has accidentally dried it a couple times and it still looks great (there is a reason I do most of the laundry in our house). Great idea to turn them inside-out, too.

I expect these to last a long time. When I heard that they were the "official" socks of tour caddies, I decided to try them. Glad I did. My only complaint which I voiced to Kentwool... they don't have a pure white sock. Creamy white, but no white.

After exclusively using Thorlo socks for the last 40 years I tried some Stridelines, a new sock company and so far I really like them.

I just like the way they fit my arch better than I get from the Kentwool. I had bought my wife a few pair of the Merino Wool socks for Christmas. She raved about how nicely they fit her foot and suggested that I get some. I tried some of the Performance socks and liked them and ordered more. I'll be ordering some more ankle socks now that the season is around the corner. Right now, I'm wearing the calf socks. The Kentwool ankle socks that I have seem bulkier than the Bombas Performance. Not to take away from the Kentwool socks, as they are very comfortable and cool, as well.

sixcat Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 This thread is turning into something quite entertaining. To be honest, I do 90% of the laundry for my family. I lived alone for nearly 11 years before getting married and spent 8 years in the military. Laundry is something I have been doing my whole life. I also do the majority of the cooking. My wife's career keeps her away often in the afternoons with city council meetings, etc. I'm not attempting to thread-jack but I do have a question it seems some may be able to answer. I find it very difficult to find pants that fit properly. Or what I believe should be a proper fit. I can't stand the "modern" low rise. I have tried Bonobos, Under Armour, Adidas, JCrew, Dockers, Bills Khakis and Old Navy. I love Bills but the lower legs feel like straight up 70's bell-bottoms. It's a shame they don't offer a slimmer fit with a mid-rise. Bonobos, UA, Adidas and JCrew were all way to short in the rise. I was instructed by a supposed "professional" to buy a larger waist size in the Bonobos to increase the rise. This made the thighs way too loose. I just didn't like Dockers all the way around! The Old Navy pants were intriguing at first. The fit was much better but the material and quality were awful. After two washes, the crotch stitching unraveled from seam to seam. Any suggestions?

When my 2 boys were in their early teens and going through clothes like crazy, my wife told me she was overwhelmed by laundry, cooking and cleaning the house. Since we both worked full time I told her I would take turns doing the laundry with her but I was shocked how much time it took to gather the clothes, wash and dry them and then hang and fold them. MUCH more work than I had imagined and I took over doing the laundry full time. Like many men I really had no idea how much work it takes to maintain a house and was glad I took over laundry duty as well as cleaning the kitchen when she cooks. sixcat, silver & black, MattF and 1 other 3 1 Quote Driver: Qi10 10.5* ...

perseveringgolfer Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Can you imagine having this conversation with the same people at the 19th hole my 2c worth is I've always done jeans/denim inside out and dress trousers (pants) as well. Pants (knickers) are also best done inside out, together, and with some small amount of detergent applied to a key area before putting in the machine. Results are exceptional to wear. In future though, and based on this thread, I will turn everything inside out.

golfingbrock Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) When buying golf clothes I have a few rules: 1. Nothing white. Too hard to keep stains off, and everything goes in the wash together at our house 2. Read the tag to make sure no special washing requirements, again because everything goes in the washer and dryer together. *edit* rule 3. Check the clearance rack first. 90% of my UA, Nike, and Puma gear was at 50% off or more at the PGA Superstore I see why it would make sense to turn clothes inside out for care. My kids certainly do this with every clothing article, but not on purpose. I prefer to leave my clothes outside out so I can avoid the extra pre and post wash steps.

ED13 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 I have been washing all clothes inside out with fasteners done up on the gentlest cycle the washing machine offers for over twenty years. Combine this with hanging all clothes to dry can add years to their lifespan. Purchase better quality clothes and take proper care of them will save money in the long run. This premise is true for most things in life. sixcat and tony@CIC 2 Quote Driver - Ping G410 Woods - Callaway Rogue 5 wood Hybrid - Titleist TS2 21 degree Irons - Taylormade P790 5-PW Wedges - Taylormade MG3 50, 54, 58, SM9 60 Putter - Mizuno Black Carbon BC3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
