Wring it out, run a rod through the sleeves and let it dry. When dry wad it up ,
shake it out and it's aged. It doesn't take long to take color.

--- Quote from: Pappy on November 03, 2016, 10:13:00 am ---I would say dogs way would work fine but as Beadman said just wear it in all your outside activities and it will weather soon enough, I been wondering how to clean one of mine up a bit that I wear a lot in the winter. ;) :) Like and old bow with some use they begin to show a lot of character pretty quickly. By the way very cool shirt. :)

"a friend of mine has mentioned several times over the years that she has this cool leather shirt that I would probably like. "
Well, perhaps you are already married. And can have female friends :laugh: :laugh:
