Yeah, mine say Dry Clean (one says either). I've had some good and some bad results washing jackets of all sorts...

And the results are fresh and clean. Feels like a new jacket on the inside.
Exactly. Some labels state machine wash or dry clean, while others say dry clean only. However, they are all made out of the same materials, so they can all be washed. Dry cleaning for light soiling is ok, but repeat dry cleaning can leave residue. Also, if you want to truly clean a jacket that is sweat soaked and stained, then washing it in machine is the most effective.

I never dry clean. Expensive, and you can't be sure of the results. I always hand wash. Then air dry. Just keep squeezing out the water as it settles on the lower parts of the jacket. Dries way quicker that way. Just make sure the fill settles in a distributed way. Not bunched up.

Hang it up in the shower/bathtub. Or outside if you live in house in Florida.

I’ve done the same recently with the machine hand wash program & low spin on a cwu36 from ´86 and no issues and a good smell…Have recently washed several old Alpha Civvy nylon jackets in the washing machine, cold wash 15 minutes with low spin and then line dried..no issues…nice and clean
