Laundering Rapha trousers

newlevelsofawesome

Hi forum,

I just washed my rapha trousers for the first time at 30 degrees celsius. The care instructions say you can machine wash them at up to 40 degrees. The black dye has bled into the labels colouring them gray. Maybe this is normal. However, the annoying thing is that the white belt loop now looks dirty gray.

Has anyone else had this problem with these? Is this just an inevitable part of the lifecycle of these trousers?

Thanks,

awesome

edit - Not normal apparently. Rapha immediately offered a replacement when I asked if it was normal.

You've done it wrong. I successfully laundered Rapha trousers by buying some put options on them, transferring these to an assetless shell company in the Cayman islands before buying them back with Euro-denominated letters of credit.

Surely Rapha clothing needs to be washed using washing powder made from ground unicorn horn and water from the tears of the baby Jesus?

Rapha trousers???? why didn't you get one of the servants to wash them?

I would advise contacting Rapha directly

Seriously though folks check the temperature gauge on you washing machine and check things out with Rapha, their customer service is second to none and if there is a fault with the trouseres they will sort it for you I am sure.
