    Vintage odor removal

    The baking soda works on my fridge and does work... but I find it can be a little messy sometimes with Garments and Textiles...Still works though pretty good, I use lavender in my foot lockers of flight helmets to keep the smell nice and keep the moths out, that's a time old trick.

    They ain't gettin' any more shrunker believe me this. I'm only giving the fleece a bit of air, Not keeping the hide side up.

    Sources of Irvin trousers?

    I would have said, Try the Soviet military 70's era looking ones, if you can find them on they bay they are cheap and rugged as hell. They look like Luftwaffe style ones actually..they come in black mostly but look the part and the price is right. But those look great on you.
