This may sound unusual, but this file is probably the best place to
ask. I have been using a US military field jacket for hunting during
the last year or so to hunt. It's the service standard issue.
Does anyone know the best way to clean this jacket? I want to make
sure that the water-proofing remains intact. I also don't want to use
any scented soaps to wash it.
thanks,
Keith R>

That's what I use too (The army std. issue field jacket.) Nice deep
pockets with snap flaps, hood in the zippered collar, and velcro around
the wrists. As much as I like it, I'm trying to save for a
"regulation" hunting coat though a la LL Bean, etc., but mucho bucks.
I clean my field jacket real easy. Just throw it in the automatic
washer with some non-scented Arm and Hammer detergent, then throw it in
the dryer or hang it outside to dry in fresh air. No funny scents and
it's easy. My jacket has survived about 15 years of this type of
cleaning. (Mine doesn't have a liner so I don't know if that might
require something different.) I suppose one of those special unscented
cleaners made specifically for cleaning hunting clothes could be used
as well. Pete
