I always go to the thrift shop that is next to the pizza place that I go to for lunch, I ate pizza today so I dropped by the shop. I am always looking for wool items to use as layers under my other clothes for those extra cold hunting days. This was my score today, a lined Cashmere wool coat for $6, just my size. I found it in the woman's section but it doesn't smell like perfume so I am sure it is a mans coat.

The last two other things I bought recently were woman's clothing, getting all of the perfume smell out of them is almost impossible. Even after multiple washings and hanging them outside for days they still have a slight hint of perfume in them.

That's a nice jacket, Eric. I'm always looking for wool over shirts like the old red check Woolrich stuff.

After hanging in my laundry room for a few days I can smell a bit of perfume in the coat so it is a woman's, I will take it to a drycleaner to make sure it is clean from the last owner, the solvents should get rid of any perfume.
 
I always wash all of my wool in the washer with Woolite but know from experience that soap and water won't wash out the perfume oils that have permeated this wool.
