Gentlemen,
I picked up this admiral tunic today from a local antique store. The jacket, dated 1963 btw, is in a miserable state as it has gone through some really rough treatment.
What has happened is that at some stage, someone has mounted a pair of shoulder boards with red bottom on the jacket and then at some stage, it has been washed. The red color of those boards was not safe for wash, and the red color went out onto the white cloth. Just look at the mess! :thumbsdown
I got the jacket at steal price - the question is - will the red color come off if washed and treated in a professional manner? I know there are a number if different specialized detergents in the market, but my first thought is to bring it to a professional cleaner - unless someone know of a miracle cure?
