Only you old guys will remember this trick .... pants stretchers !!!
I love using wool. Quiet and warm. After having a cleaner refuse to take a seriously bloodied pant, I tried this. I soaked them pants in cold water for a while then rinsed a couple of times. I then hand washed them with one of the "scent removal" products. Not that I think that it matters. After a couple of rinses the pants came clean. Then I hung them outside to dry .... using 1950's vintage "pants stretchers" that I had I found in my mom's stuff when we broke down mom and pop's household a few year's back. Kept the pants' shape pretty darn well.
