Washing Black Clothes

This is a pretty serious question... How does one keep his black hoody nice and shiny black after a wash? And furthermore, how do I keep it from getting that wierd "just washed cotton" fit it sometimes (usually) gets...
Any input would be appreciated... MMhhhm.

Turning it inside out helps the color not to fade. If you don't dry it (more than a few minutes) it shouldn't really shrink.
Why the hell do people post the smiley of one of the original Mega Man enemies? Does it have some sort of significance?

It does to me sir... one of my orginal avatars, back in ole nineteen dickety nine was THIS:

So back when the greamlin rush of 02' was in full landslide, it was decided that the code : todcasil : would show up as the elecman gif shooting a lightning bolt.
so yes... considering The code for him is my username, its been kind of a calling card for me ever since. ANd I love it. Which isto say, I would make love to one of megamans worst enemies given the chance.
roo!

vinegar soak in the wash water helps to fix colors, as mentioned wash it inside out, dry it on the coolest setting or lay it flat on a rack to dry to prevent shrinking

Hell yeah! And Megaman 3 is when they introduced the robo-dog and the slide action.
Megaman will always be my sci-fi action hero.

Just let it fade out. After 5 years, it should be a nice charcoal grey. Vintage.

I was always a big fan of the slide action in MegaMan3. I actually still have that game and an old NES that still works.

Color safe detergent, cold water, don't dry it, hang it. If you do dry it... Low heat.
