Two washing methods are listed; which one should I follow?
Because the washing instructions on the product page are not set to just one, it is difficult to judge which one to choose before purchasing or before the first wash.

If you want to enjoy how the garment changes the more you wear it, you can choose washing at home at a neutral temperature; if you want to preserve its initial condition, you can choose hand washing or dry cleaning.
The reason it is split into two paths is not a matter of washing skill, but a choice of how you want to wear these pants over time. The instructions for Painter pants say that you may comfortably wash them at home at a neutral temperature, while recommending hand washing or professional dry cleaning to those who do not want aging[1].
Aging refers to changes over time—meaning that as washing and wearing accumulate, the color fades, the fabric softens, and wrinkles and crease marks settle in. Inside a washing machine, water, friction, and rotation act together, so this change appears relatively quickly. In contrast, with hand washing, you can adjust the rubbing force so there is less friction, and dry cleaning removes stains using organic solvents instead of water, so shrinkage and color loss tend to be less.
In summary, home washing embraces change, while hand washing and dry cleaning slow down change. It is not too late to check the condition by hand washing for the first few times and decide afterwards.
hmmm, asking you to choose one of the two options is ultimately close to saying that you should first decide what you want these pants to look like when you wear them a few years from now.
The specific range of the recommended water temperature or the drying method could not be confirmed yet.
