Hi Folks,
I have just bought a 2nd hand riveted mail shirt, it's in fine condition and has a bit of oil on it to keep it from rusting.
I used to wear an oiled shirt many years ago and all my soft kit ended up stinking of the stuff and filthy. As I am now much older and vainer, I do not want my nice new off-white Roman tunic (just made it) to end up black with oil.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to completely de-oil the shirt before I begin wearing it?
Thanks for your suggestions,
Stu.
