Washi Care
I'm eyeing some washi pants but... Can they be washed with water? Can they even be dry cleaned? Google doesn't seem to like "washi" as a search term so I'm struggling to find information

Generally if you dont know what to do, hand wash in cold water and hang dry will be the safest bet. Do you know what material the pants are made of
Washi = Japanese paper, mulberry fiber
There's blends with like, cotton and saza (bamboo)
At least some washi clothing is hand washable in water. Apparently a few cotton-washi pants have care instructions that include machine washing gently - e.g. https://www.sousouus.com/product/straight-cut-pants-cotton-washi-temari-hazelnut-tan/
(Hopefully someone actually knowledgeable can chime in)
60% cotton 40% washi
thanks for the advice, Ive bought them
