What about dry cleaning?Hey all, I asked this in the WW2 section and got nothing...
I recently purchased a WW2 AN-6505 Aviator’s Kit Bag and while it is in decent condition, it is pretty dirty.
I plan on using it, so I’d like to clean it up a bit. I’ve tried cleaning vintage canvas bags before, but whenever I have, the straps always shrink and pucker-up once the bag has dried even though I hand-cleaned it with cold water and hang-dried it in the bathroom.
I really dislike this look, and I’m hoping that someone can explain how I can clean and dry the bag without this happening again- especially in this area:
I have attempted to steam the puckers out before, but due to the way the straps are stitched down, it doesn’t seem to do any good. If it’s impossible, please let me know as well. I really prefer the nice and flat look like this:
Thanks so much!
I can't think of any.
It was deleted and the seller wanted to sell it for $200. Not sure who got it though.
Still a great deal, I would've grabbed it but it got deleted before I got the chance to send a message through asking for measurements. Also it was local pickup in Melbourne only and I'm a state away.
Also interested in this if anyone has any input.
perhaps make the area damp again, and iron it both sides with a little pulling tugging to even the stretch of both materials while drying might help?Hey all, I asked this in the WW2 section and got nothing...

Either these were made under license or they were a trademark infringement, I don't know. I'm surprised the one in the link sold for as much as it did. These go for a lot less on Vinted. Personally I don't like their styling, they have a strong 90s vibe.
They’re not legitimate? I’ve seen a few of them around.
This one has a similar logo but uses the aviakit branding. However I don’t see any mention of made in England which makes me a bit sceptical
Am just curious as I’ve seen a few of these jackets around but no mention of this at all in the forums
