Marion,
I would like to suggest that this Preservation Menu be expanded to include room for more topics. See if this will do.
I have several old WW2 uniforms in my collection that I would like to not only preserve but to freshen up a bit. Some are in great shape and condition. Others are limp from being stored in a foot locker. One is soiled.
I've taken the worst one to a local cleaner and inquired about dry cleaning it. It is made of a gabardine material. He wouldn't touch it. The cleaner was concerned that the seams would rip open after 65 years.
Who do you contact about cleaning an ole uniform?
Is there something I could soak a uniform in to relase the dirt and hand wash it?
What would work for wool uniforms?
Steve
