Bronson N1 washing question

[Flightengineer]

One mashine washing of my Bronson B-15A at 30 degrees was enough for the jacket to have an excellent used look and (did not shrink).

Nice - looks definitely more used than mine. Especially around the pockets. But as I said, I’ll just have to wear it. Just like back in the days... Hope that the colder days are not over yet.

Perhaps you are right, you should wear it and then wash it again. And we still have no weather for these jackets ...- 12 C.

Here’s a couple of shots of my Bronson N-1 post wash and with a fair amount of wear.....

I just washed my Bronson N-1 in washing machine (30° C wool program) and it came out ok, no shrinking and it looks a little less "new" so it's nicer now. It's true that the outer fabric is 100% cotton but the demotex fur is 80% wool and 20% polyester so it's difficult this will shrink with washing (if you do not use high temperature of course)

you guys have inspired me

my old B-10 is getting a bit too big for me after I have lost some weight, so I might put it in the wash this weekend and see how it goes
