The great denim debate: To wash, dry clean or neither?

To dry clean or not to dry clean: that is the question.  Many denim aficionados swear by dry cleaning their designer denim, while some prefer the cold wash and hang to dry method, and still others don’t wash their jeans for months at a time.  Some Rock & Republic jeans have “Dry Clean Only” labels inside.  I am guilty of just throwing mine in the washer and (shock!) dryer sometimes.  In fact, I’ve been told that many dry cleaners will simply wash denim in a washing machine rather than actually dry clean them.   What do you do?

    Wash inside-out in cold, and hang to dry.
