Cleaning clothes

[Gaius Julius Caesar]

Air your clothes, you do not have to wash them. Just change your mindset. People did not wash their clothes that often in the classical period. So save yourself the worry. You will only get them dirty. Keep yourself clean and your clothes do not seem so bad.

I do keep myself clean!! :eek: :eek:
But as you recall, I leave my mail slightly oiled...I recall a few jibes over the season...so the tunic was pretty grotty over all!
i did wash my brachae again though with the intention of shrinking them a bit.
They were made deliberately baggy as I didn't wan't to be extra-ventilated at the wrong time!

But, over the season I agree, they did not smell unclean, just a little smokey, which I imagine was a good insect/vermin repllant too!
