If I get mud or blood on mine I wash it in cold water in the machine with unscented soap. Then I hang it either in the garage or an unheated room in the house.  

I just hang mine in a closet for storage. m If you're worried about moth's, you could store them in a garbage bag tied at the top.

Wash on knit delicate cycle with cold water.  Spin dry and lay flat on the floor with phone books on top to hold its shape for 24 hours.  Hang dry the rest of the way.  Keep away from heat during the drying process.  KOM wool is very durable and on shrinks slightly with even warm water washing.  I prefer to was KOM several times initially to felt it more.  It seems to make the weave tighter.

Wash in cold water, then put it on and jump on your Harley. After a few miles at 80mph it will be dry and fit you perfectly...   :biglaugh:
