Carole. Any special washing or care instructions for a flak vest and neck seal? Will it a survive a washing machine? It looks so darn nice and new.
I'm too lazy to read through 17 pages of posts to see if you mentioned it already, so my apologies if you've already posted an answer. Thanks.

To be honest, I wouldn't want to read through 17 pages either 
So here goes: I wash the suits in hot before they get boxed up, and I've washed ones with the neck seals attached and they were fine. I have never washed a vest, however and I'm not sure that I would recommend washing it in a washer. I think if it absolutely needs to be cleaned, spend the couple of bucks and take it to a dry cleaner. The only reason I think that is the batting. It is stitched to the lining of the vest but I would hate for it to bunch up going through the wash. And of course once you weather it, it all depends on what you use. But aren't you going for the dirty look anyway?

Thanks. I was wondering about the batting.I definitely don't want to clean it (dirty is good ). I was only thinking about washing it to give it that lived-in look and to make it look less like brand new. I'll find another way to do that. Thanks again.
