Look as i might, i cant find washing instructions on my jacket, i fear i threw out the labels and such that were attached to it when i bought it.How do you guys wash/waterproof yours.Its an RST Vega textile jacket ( http://www.rst-moto.com/index2.html ), and had beer spilled on it the other night, so its a bit funky (and not in the james brown sense) at the moment.Can anyone help me out ?
My JR textile says not to wash it in a machine or submerse it. It has a white stripe across the chest that gets really gross w/ bugs and road derbis. I took a bucket with some water and dish soap and a scrub brush to it. The brush doesn't hold much water so it didn't get drenched. The brush does get the soap good and foamy though. Then I wiped it down with a damp rag to get the soap off and let it dry. Worked well.
I removed the amour, had my grandmother wash my JR textile jacket alone in the washer, gentle cycle, cold water, then I let it air dry. I re-inserted the armour, and it worked out very well, no shrinkage, or damage at all. Got out the bugs and looks great, the white is actually white again.
