Can I dry-clean my RMC N1 deck jacket?

[npthaiduong]

Hello gentlemen,

I tried but couldn’t find any details on how to properly clean the RMC N1 deck jacket. Since the outer shell is made of cloth, I’m thinking it might be safe to dry-clean without damaging the jacket. However, I’d appreciate hearing your thoughts and suggestions on the best way to clean it.

Thank you!

I always vacuum the pockets first. And then a simple brush should be good unless there is stains or odor then it needs a deeper clean like cold water wash with some hydrogen peroxide.
I will cold wash my Toys Mccoy deck jacket once I can lift the USN stencil out in the front. Just cold water wash with detergent, I will post some before and after pics.

I'd be interested to see how you remove the USN stencil.

Are you sure there are no cleaning instructions hidden away in a pocket or other out of the way location? If so, follow those instructions.

So would I.

I’m trying it with acetone but letting it soak for longer, hope this works, fingers crossed.

I bought them used, so it didn't come with the normal booklet or tag

Not a fan of the stencil?

I would prefer it plain. But most deck jackets come with the stencil.

Since I last posted on this thread, I have tried the following methods to remove the stencil,
Acetone/Nail polish remover - Failed result
Rubbing Alcohol - Failed result
Hydrogen Peroxide - took about 20% out so still failed result.

I got some Amodex Products 104 Ink and Stain remover, and will try this method next.

I have also washed cold water with Oxi Clean detergent, and hang dry without any shrinking or damage to the jacket. Vacuum the pockets first, there is always some crumbs in there for some reason.

Fingers crossed Amodex will work. Otherwise I will have to go get some pro help from the dry cleaning lady.
