I have two pairs of linen slacks that I machine wash in cold water and dry on low air. They shrank just a tad, which is fine since my legs are on the shorter length, and not a problem around the waist as they expand on warming up to my body. I won't dry clean anything if I can help it, and was willing to risk it on linen pants. YMMV.

I was wondering if it would be a bad idea to wash these trousers in the washing machine. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
