Davejb 1,636 Moderator Report post September 24, 2017 Well its certainly a great item and I would think extremely rare, the problem here is that I doubt if any professional cleaning firms would take this on, baring in mind its rarity, price ,and subject matter. Modern cleaning products used in these shops could have an adverse affect on the old material, they might even insist that all badges be removed . You could always try a museum that deals in historic costumes, they may be able to advise you better, but seeing that cat pee has been there for some time, it could have permanently changed the material colour of the fibres, after all, any type of urine contains acids and enzymes. I really hope you can get it cleaned to an acceptable standard as its a very desirable piece, I would also wait to see if any of our costume collectors on here have any suggestions, good luck with it 1 1 Quote Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Desert Rat 835 Report post November 22, 2018 Hello JM, Thanks for showing these superb items, all I can say is that be careful if you take this to a cleaners, as most certainly ...You do NOT want the ID tags, the makersor owners marks eroded away by cleaning. Maybe just a fragrant water and mild shampoo would do this and just clean gently the urine/ smelly parts. I, hope all goes well & Many Thanks for showing us on MCN. Best to you....Desert Rat/ IanB/UK Quote Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Auld 22 Report post March 12 Are you sure it is even genuine? The stiching directly below the name looks very new to say it would have been worn? Quote Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
