While dry cleaning will always remain the best option for cleaning your pair of mens Carhatt jeans, it might not always b a pliable and economical one. So unless a pair of jeans specifically requires dry cleaning, most people just wash their jeans at home. This is not such a bad option either as it allows you to control the wear and tear on you jeans ensuring that they last longer. Below are some useful tips that you can use while laundering your mens Carhatt jeans at home.

Before the first wash
Check to see if your pair of mens Carhatt jeans is pre shrunk; if they are you have nothing to worry about. If they are not and they need to be hemmed then make sure you wash them before hemming as they tend to shrink a bit after the initial wash.

The first wash
The first wash of your mens Carhatt jeans is probably the most important. Always wash the pants inside out. Then soak them in water with a bit of vinegar. This process will help fasten the color and will reduce fading. If you are washing them in the machine then set the load to medium and wash them in cold water with one cup of vinegar. Stop the wash so that they can soak for a few hours preferably overnight. Then let the cycle complete. Do not dry your jeans in the dyer.

Drying
Drying your jeans in the dryer can damage your mens Carhatt jeans beyond your imagination. Think of the amount of lint that you will collect at the end of the drying cycle. This is all part of your jeans that is being worn out and being thrown away. It is best to take out your jeans while they are still damp and hang them on a hanger. Smoothen out the wrinkles with your hands.

Preserving the fade
All jeans will fade over time and repeated washes and mens Carhatt jeans are no exception. If you feel that you have reached the perfect shade of blue then start spacing out your washes even more and when you do always was in cold water. If you can afford to get them dry cleaned all the better.

Ironing and hanging
If you must iron your pair of mens Carhatt jeans then you must do so before they dry out completely. Make sure that you iron them out flat aligning the seams as evenly as possible, i.e. in-seam to in-seam and out-seam to out-seam. If not you will create a crease in the centre causing them to look like regular pants. While hanging your pair of mens Carhatt jeans, make sure that you pull both the legs through the hanger evenly and at one time. Re-crease them carefully. If you can hang them from the bottom without folding them it would be ideal but if you can't them make sure that they are evenly hung on the hanger.
