Ex army charcoal suits.

I remember being told you could wash the charcoal out of them and it would leave you with a good jacket. Never had mine long before it was stolen I never got the chance to try the washing the charcoal out of it.

Yes I can remember getting a right rollicking off my mother about the mess in the bottom of the old washing machine a old twin tub we had back in the day I remember the black sludge in the pump

If there what I remember the size is number based printed on them something like 180/80

Never want to wear those things again. Can remember after a week or so on exercise wearing the stuff your skin hair amd clothing beneath used to get engrained in charcoal.

Years ago used to see young lads walking around town wearing the jackets thinking they were mugs because of the charcoal residue which would be rubbing into their clothing and skin.

I planned to let mine soak in a tub of hot water and leave it to dissolve then repeat until it was all gone.

I wore mine fishing and fell in the river. Made a right mess if I remember right of my clothing.

I took it off and left it hanging on a tree near a fire we built and some that passed by stole it.

It's olive so not very exciting size 180/100. Next question is do I chuck it in the dustbin or clothes recycle bin to go for rags.
