Okabashi are the best summer wear I have ever experienced; the best part is they are absolutely washable. No matter what the colour of the Okabashi ( I have a few different colours) I put them in the heavy duty washer setting ALONG with the Levis, jeans, coveralls, towels, etc. and, after they have agitated a few moments, I use an old toothbrush to scrub the bottom (and top) and they come out very clean and nearly new looking. I have been wearing, and machine washing with thick and heavy clothing, for years now. The trick is to SCRUB with a brush the top and BOTTOM. There is no water log because they are molded!
