Restoring vintage D&G shearling jacket
Hi. I've just purchased a vintage D&G shearling jacket and would like to restore it. The previous owner hadn't worn it for years, and yet it has a powerful musty odour mixed with the smell of smoke! The inside shearling has become quite natty/picky and it needs a good clean as well as a brush. There are a couple of dark spot stains inside. I would also like to recolour it the same, dark brown (avoiding getting any dye on the shearling on the outside!) and nourish the outside as its a very faded cracked brown and feels quite thin/fragile in places where it has worn out. However, there are no rips or tears or any other kind of damage. I've read I shouldn't wet it completely and even avoid wool detergents, so please could you advise how I would go about cleaning and recolouring this piece, what products I should be using and what and where to purchase? Many thanks again.
