If you wash things that have been treated to be hydrophobic, eventually it’ll wear off so you have to reproof it. If you ever wonder why an old waterproof jacket is starting to let water in, it’ll be because you’ve washed it
So I wore my beautiful waxed canvas jacket for like five days without a shower. It really smelled. I threw it in the washer with other clothes and the bottom hem on one side got ripped and it’s not as waterproof anymore. Listen to this person.
Hydrophobic clothes sounds like a cool idea, but a pain to wash I bet.

People wash waterproof jackets? Like in a washing machine?
Just air that shit out if you really need to…
Nice
Mine just says wash normally. I imagine it will eventually stop being so hydrophobic, but everything wears out
washing machine : don’t be such a hydrophobe
I imagine they’d feel like polyester
