Hi,
the other day I was reading a thread here on washing tunics. Id never considered the negative effects of dirt and other residue. I selected an old very worn tunic and soaked it in a tub of water gently agitating. The water turned more brackish than I had thought possible. I rinsed added some mild cleaning substance for woolen garments and repeated the procedure. Dried between two towels as suggested in the thread and handeg out to dry outside but not in direct sunlight. The results were surprising the colors seemed brighter, the rancid smell gone and the material felt softer. I didnt take photographs as I went as frankly I didnt think I would achieve anything. Here is the end result. Have many others here washed their tunics?.
cheers Robert
