I've had this for a year, but finally repaired it. The jersey had about 20 moth holes in it - some quite big. I had it dry-cleaned, then scrubbed off various dirty areas that remained, using a hat sponge. Then used wonder-web and some similar-colored material to fill the moth holes. Finally, used wonder-web and dark blue felt to repair the lettering. If anyone ever attempts a project like this, please email me if you have questions - took quite a bit of work to figure it out.

Wow.
That looks fantastic.
Great job.
With your work on this and the gloves, you are getting to be quite the restoration guru.

That's a beauty Scott. Do you know what the WCTOE stands for?

[Runscott]

Thanks guys. I highly recommend 'Wonder Under' for this sort of restoration.

No, I don't know what the letters stand for - I like the way the 'W' and 'E' are 'off-balance' though. I have a white cap that has a similar style that I will be staining with tea. I'll show the 'before' and 'after' pics when it's done. Luckily the pants are moth-bite free, and fit. I even have a dark navy sweater that matches quite well. I will be easy to pick out in Chicago next summer.

Hey Scott awsome job on the jersey. What did you use to get the dirt out besides taking it to the dry cleaners?

Me too but I don't see them extending an offer that will be competitive. I hate to see Russell leave but it makes no fiscal sense to compete for him. I doubt he gives us a home town discount at this point in his career.

Nate, I am always amazed when you post another load of items - I have a vision of a warehouse like the one at the end of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'.

Just picked up this 1968 Detroit Tigers World Champions banner.

The banner measures 20" x 30" and is tough to locate in this larger size. I've been looking for a higher quality one for some time now.

Great looking banner! Nice pickup.
