I do this for cycling clothing. (Almost all synthetic, some wool, fair amount of spandex-y stuff.)
This stuff lasts forever when washed on cool/warm and then hung.
Friends of mine have complained about one brand or another not lasting very long, but they've been tossing the stuff in the drier.
We're fortunate to have a basement with a nice beam I can place hangers on (for winter drying), or a hanging bar I fitted in the garage (for summer). Lately I've been getting rid of 8-10 year old stuff that I no longer like or no longer fits, and it's sellable, as opposed to just worn out.
(Doesn't sell for much, but folks will happily pay $20 - $30 for special print cycling jerseys that are still in good shape and cost $80-130 new. Way better than tossing them in the trash.)
