Silk shirts/shorts
found some 100% silk shirts/shorts from Tommy Bahama. It says Dry Clean only, yet these are clothing i plan on wearing casually in warm weather.
For those that have similar silk shirts/shorts, how often do you dry clean, or is it ok to hand wash in cold water?

I’ve hand washed them with cold water, they survive but lose that sorta silky feeling that makes them good in the first place
Others might have more experience tho
I used to machine wash my silk pillowcases and sheets. No big issues. I’ve hand washed shirts and dry cleaned them as well. Quality on TB isn’t the best so I’d probably hand wash though I know many guys just machine everything
What soap did you use?
That's usually caused by using standard washing liquid
Rather than the water wash
Ooo I just used normal laundry detergent. You should really just use water??
There's specially detergent for silk
Usually light wool detergents will work
I should invest in that
