I just got my ASAT 3d leafy suit and want to wash it to soften the material so that the leaves aren't so loud. Would washing it with other clothes cause the leaves to potentially rip and tear? -or- have you already done so with good result?

Thing is, I prefer to wash it with other clothes because I think the friction with other garments will accellerate the break-in or wear-in process and produce quieter leaves sooner.
