Just to be curious I weighed my 1958 Kersey size 46. It 5 pounds even.Peacoat or anyone who can help! I need your advice on this issue. For awhile I have been looking for a portable closet to store my woolen good to keep extra safe. I came across this http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30246468/#/30288953 holds up to 66lbs on the bar. On average how much does a WW2 peacoat weigh hanging up? Also, I noticed the closet is made out of polyester this is good because moths will never eat through it, however it doesn't breathe. The bottom is completely open but I was planning on covering up the bottom with a breathable cotton just to seal that off. My only problem is that do you think this closet will allow enough air circulation and not build up moisture? Darn polyester! I'm hoping since the entire bottom can breathe this should be enough but I need some more opinions..... I could store them in a real closet but I figure I could keep moths out for good with this closet.
P.S. the coats will be is garment bags that can breathe and any plastic on them is made of PEVA which is safe as well. https://www.amazon.com/Essex-Wares-...8&qid=1479526169&sr=8-43&keywords=garment+bag
