[OT] New reason to wash new clothes before wearing

Sorry to post so off topic, but I just discovered something important - - why I should have washed a new zipper-front hooded jacket before I wore it. Got the jacket for my birthday, tried it on - - very comfortable - - and since then I've been plagued by small pink spots on my arms that itch like the dickens. I used to think all the washing was for, was to remove manufacturing oils from the textiles. But now I believe there was something alive in my new jacket, and I have been its favorite meal in these last three months. These imported clothes come from gosh-awful places and I can well believe they harbor illegal alien fauna.

So don't do like I did, spreading the stuff to every jacket I owned - - wash it before even trying it on.

Might also be a reaction to something the coat was permeated with to make it water proof, etc.
