I know most, if not all of you guys prefer not washing it but I can't get over how bad it smells & others are starting to say the same
I wear my vest whenever I go out and I do not want to be known as the "smelly guy"
So here I ask, how do I wash my vest ( at home ) without destroying the patches?
NO.
If people say your vest smells, you look at them with pride and say "fuck yeah!"
I'd love to be known as "the smelly guy" (for all I know I may already be known as that)
I confess to washing my vest a few times (When there were only a few patches) but now there's quite a few, I Wouldn't want to put it through the washing machine! There's cleaning foam you can buy in a spray can that does the job (it's for carpets, but it works on clothes too) Never understood the "Anti-washing" thing. Why the hell would you want to smell like a tramp's arse crack?!
yeah if your vest stinks, do something about it. That shit is grimey and i dont wanna smell that shit the whole show. But never put a vest through the wash, itll ruin the patches
Fill the bottom of the bath with water and pour the some detergent/powder for sensitive clothes/materials. Leave the jacket soaking in that for few hours and then hang it on a radiator for a day to dry.
This is the most effective yet the most delicate method and it will even leave painted patches virtually untouched.
Yep, this. If it's really really bad, diluting some vinegar with water and spraying it on the stinky bits before leaving it in the sun helps alleviate the aroma too.
If the patches on your vest are woven or embroidered, turn the vest inside out and get it into the washing machine, end of the story.
A friend of mine washes his vest (he has only woven & embroidered patches on it, of course) at least once a month and none of them have faded so far. They're w or e , remember...they won't fade, nor would they peel or rub off or anything
C'mon guys...I can't believe you can get this dirty...
This may sound abit strange but if u get a big fuckoff industrial size pan, fill half of it with water, bring it to boil and put yor vest in that, use yor normal detergents as u would with a washing machine wash, then after 15 mins u take that out, put it into another pan of boiling water to let the soap n shit out n then hang it out in the sun and breeze, itl smell good and itl be soft like kittens
Get on a motorbike and try to outrun the smell. A days riding (@100km/h+) wearing your vest over a leather jacket
and you may be able to lose it.
Or choose people to hang with that are equally if not more smelly than yourself, they wont care or notice ;)>>>
Usually the smell consists mostly of bacteria. So if it stinks really bad, I suggest cleaning. It's not just about the smell but also hygiene.
Hand washing works fine. Just remember to let it dry in a place with good ventilation or outside.
Avoid direct sunlight, it fades patches and fabric.
If you don't want to wash it, you can also remove the bacteria with the already mentioned Febreze.
Lazy finnish way of cleaning your vest: Take it into a sauna, drink a beer and raise the heat to +100, should kill most of the bacteria. Then leave it to dry outside. Avoid straight sunlight.
Either hand/bathtub wash or just throw it in a mesh laundry bag and machine wash it on light. Turn inside out (if Machine washing), and take all the pins/buttons off (all washing methods). Reason for turning vest/jacket inside out is so your stitching and canvas ends don't get real fucked up and or frayed when washing. I know from experience that they can...
Woven patches should be fine though, as should screen-printed (painted) patches, as long as the ink/paint has been heat-sealed/pressed extremely.
Hand wash is best, mainly spot washing if it's just a certain area, if smell is a problem just toss it in a bag and throw it in the freezer for a day or two.
It's the same tag that uses coldworldvintage.

I just have mine on a coat hanger and let it air out after I go to a show.
As for cleaning if it smells rank, I'd suggest napalm...

go into a car wash

I've found that if you button it and turn it inside out before you wash it your vest won't fade as much.
quixotic on
Go for a walk in the rain
DeathRipper on
Rub a dryer sheet on it and hang it outside, or like quixotic said, walk in the rain.
DeathDealer on
Take a shower with it

this is exactly the way I have used to wash my old Kutte some years ago - it had to dry for 3 days

The times I washed mine I just did it on handwash in the washing machine and hung it outside to dry. It's fine.
