Yes and yes.

Reminds me of when Billy was telling the class about how his little dog was chasing his big dog when the big dog stopped short. Billy said the little dog, "couldn't stop and ran straight up his big dog's ass!" The teacher was horrified and told Billy not to say such things, and to use the proper term which was "rectum". Billy looked at the class and laughed, "Wrecked'em hell! It killed'em both!"

If you want to try washing, hand wash would be safer.

I machine washed three different old MA-1 that I used to own; gentle cycle with cold water and a drop of wool soap and I always got great results, shining nylon and no shrinking at all.
