@RollTide2008 Thank you! I was hoping someone would write that!
Look, I'm not saying it's not bad for them. Will it shorten the life of these jeans? I dunno, probably. I didn't buy them as an investment piece. I'll wear them for a few years maybe and move on. I don't feel the need to own a garment for 20 years.
I don't have the time, the space, or the patience to baby the laundry. I would go absolutely bonkers if every time I did a load of laundry, it was hanging in the bathroom. I don't think my electric residential dryer gets hot enough to do immediate irreparable damage. Will other posters diagree with me? Yes and I don't care. I'm only speaking on my own experience.

Best to follow directions.
I've received hand made knit hats and capes, etc. and I followed the maker's directions, as strange as it sounded at the time.
No spin-drying, etc., etc. re: hand made knit or crochet hats, etc. Something about the very thick yarn, etc.
Years ago, A pair of pants' label stated 'do not twist or spin (I believe), and, of course, I didn't read the directions before I hand washed and hand twisted the pants. I believe they were/are coated polyester and slightly water repellent. Thank goodness I didn't over-twist before line drying. They didn't crack, or even worse.

Looks like I am probably the lone one here, but in certain things I am Little House on the Prairie like. But hey, I would have taken Michael Landon. But I digress..... I line dry everything. The clothesline is my friend. Yes, that means ironing, but I'm ok with that. I love the smell of sheets line dried. I also like everything dried out in the fresh sunshine. Of course, certain things I have to dry flat but most things go on the line or on hangers. So, that was my long version of the answer that I don't put jeans in the drawer. 😁 👕👖👗👚

I agree with @RollTide2008 I'm trying to remember the last time I hung something to dry. I live in jeans and all brands go in the dryer as do bras. underwear, and all other articles of clothing. I want to wash, dry and put away as quickly as possible. No soggy clothes hanging around. No issues with anything.
I utilize all settings on washer and dryer, sort everything and let the machines do the work.

I have many many pair and I throw them all in the dryer. Never had a problem at all.

They said last night you could line dry or put them in the dryer on low heat.

I own many collapsible drying racks and dry most of my clothes on them. It's no big deal to me.

@GenXmuse Do you have jeans containing elastomultiester? That's the fiber in question.
Yes, I dry those too
