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.

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

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?

Thanks. Ron, oddly the dry cleaners did not get the really dirty spots out. After making the repairs, I thought some of the dirty spots looked kind of 'crusty', and sure enough, they rubbed out a bit with a hat sponge. Also, when moths eat felt, they have to crap it out - that's what some of the dark areas are. Moth crap doesn't come out easily, as I've found in the past when repairing old felt hats.
I'm not really sure what dry-cleaning really does, other than my old jerseys always look quite a bit better when I get them back. After dry-cleaning, this one still smelled heavily of moth balls, especially when applying the iron to the wet flannel.

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.

I don't usually buy tintypes, but I loved this image. The condition is so nice that I had doubts about it being real, but I've been told independently by a tintype expert, and a photo expert, that it almost certainly is.

Nate - Very good pick up on the Soria jersey's. It is amazing how many different jerseys some teams have today over the course of the year with third jerseys and Negro League jerseys. I must say you couldn't give those away in my home city of Detroit after his performance in the Playoffs this year!
