I have a pair of Type A-10 Winter Flying Trousers. Despite the name, these were intended for groundcrew - they're basically A-9s with no leg zips and patch-button pockets on the shins instead of zip-slash pockets. Same coarse alpaca-wool fiber liner, same fine OD cotton twill shell.
These are deadstock - received in a sealed paper envelope with AAF procurement info stamped on an original suspenders attached. They're in pristine condition, but I do want to be able to wear them on extremely cold days, so they really should be cleaned.
What has worked best with your alpaca lined cotton garments such as B-10s? Is dry cleaning ok? Can I get away with cold hand washing in Woolite, or will that harm the shell fabric?
