At some point (in a galaxy, long long time ago) I learned to turn jeans, shorts and hoodies inside out when putting them into washing machine. For some reason, I don't do the same with smaller, simple things like T-shirts and underwear.

I forgot what was the reasoning behind it, but when I think about it, can't seem to come to a conclusion which way is better.

Is one way better than another and why?

I dont know any of the finer details but my thought and real practice is that when washing jeans, its better to wash them inside out and all zipped up + pockets out. Not sure where I heard it but I've always observed that

It cant be worse than doing them rightside whatever so try it if you like. Anecdotally, my jeans tend to last basically forever if there arent already stylistic holes or tears in them.
