HH in washing mashine

[eaglecrow]

Since my HH is still too new looking after the first season I'd like to put my horsehide into the washing machine. I thought of 50 to 60 degrees Celsius. Any suggestions?

Sounds way too hot to me! Why not give it a wear in a warm or hot shower to take it slow and not beat it up so much? That's how I'd start.

I did it with mine, might have shrunk slightly. Can't really tell. Still looks pretty new, gained some graining on the collar. Try 40° first, I think I used 60° but can't really remember! .

I would put my jacket in the shower, and drench it with cold water first(wich would be quite close to rain, except that rain does not have very much scale and most drinkingwater does) - just to see if it had any effect.... But that's me...
