Can anyone recommend a good way to get the grime from 40 odd years of wear off the roll neck edge of a vintage submariner jumper? It's not coming off with normal washing techniques! Thanks!!

Haha :) thanks - I just feel like I'm going round in circles! But it's been a useful learning curve! I''ve been pouring over pics of the ON subs and NSC and they do look very, very similar. Nothing leaps out as being different in overall design, even the cotton neck patches are almost identical...
