What is the best way to clean the cotton lining of a Wested? Should have have it dry cleaned or is there a way I can clean it myself? Thanks.

Depends. If it's just needing 'freshing up', sponge out with a damp cloth, if stained use 'Shout' wipes, then a VERY light misting of Fabreeze, and you're good to go. If it really needs work, definitely find a competent leather care professional (not just any dry cleaner) and have it done correctly. Regards. Michaelson

There is no problem in cleaning the linning Yourself.

If You use a detergent not to "agressive" ex. a detergent for wool,
You can wash the jacket inside out gently by hand. Max temperature 30 degrees.

Rinse 3 time in cool water (still in hand) and finish with a short (20 sec.)
extraction in a washing-mashine. And still inside out.

Place the jacket flat on a towel or such and let it dry. Do not place it in
the sun or on direct heating. When the linning is dry (ít´ll dry up first) turn the jacket outside in again and let the leather dry up still placed flat.

And that´s that. But remember the detergent - use one for wool - and NOT you ordinary one!!

Best regards
