To Pre-wash, or Not to Pre-wash?

I have a question to raise here: When you, personally, buy new clothes, do you wash them before you wear them? As for me, I usually like to wash new clothes if I’m already doing the laundry anyway, but if I’m excited to wear the new item and it’s not laundry day, then I go ahead and wear it. It seems like it’s not a bad idea to pre-wash, though. Just think about it… Someone with bad B.O. might have tried on that shirt just before you bought it, and if your nose is congested due to a bad cold that day, you will be unaware of your personal stench. In other words, if you haven’t pre-washed it, you’ll stink– You’ll stink bad. And people will refer to you as The Stinker. I chose to wash our new baby clothes, my reasoning being that then the baby will smell fresh and feel soft. However, Pace felt that new clothes are clean enough, so why wash them? I don’t want people to take sides here, because Pace and I are best friends, but just to say what you tend to do.
