First things first, when caring for your awesome riding jeans you never want to use harsh cleaning material that contain bleach or other chemicals. These ingredients will destroy your jeans and cause a lot of unsightly marks that you won’t be able to get out.  You also don’t want to wash your jeans too often as each wash will wash away a little bit of the dye.  But when you do wash, follow these top steps! Consult the label found within your jeans as there might be special instructions for each unique product. Always follow specific instructions if they are given to you. Before you wash your jeans take out anything that’s in your pockets, and all inner armor, or detachable parts. Then turn your jeans inside out to preserve the dye and to ensure that your zips don’t snag other items in the wash. Wash on a gentle cycle, at a low temperature (about 30 degrees) and avoid using fabric softener as this could destroy your riding jeans. Hang them out to air dry once they’ve been washed (and avoid putting them in the dryer as this could shrink them, or cause damage).
