Washing Rogan Jeans?

[THE JEANUIS]

I noticed in an auction picture the tag says they must be hand washed and hung out. Is it not wise to wash in machine? Could it cause that much damage. Here are the auctions with the pictures of the tag

Heavy industrial washing will weaken the denim due to abrasion and chemicals (bleaches and enzymes). So Rogan are probably just protecting themselves with their wash instructions.

There's been quite a few people on hear reporting that their Rogans are a bit fragile for heavy wear'n'wash.

i find that my rogans hold up well with semi-regular washing...

obviously, vapours will not be as strong as the ethanol washes, but overall, they hold up fine for a wash now and then...

i say wash them...it gives the denim some character
