Acid
eats away at the fabric, of
course. Once it starts, the parka
is ruined.
Use warm water and detergent.
Wash on the
PERMANENT
PRESS cycle.
Rinse thoroughly in
clean,
warm water.
When hand washing and rinsing,
do not wring or twist the
garment. That can make holes
in the waterproof barrier.
And
grease
won't come out of the
fabric unless you wash it in very
hot water
-and hot water
loosens
the parka's seam tape that keeps
it waterproof.

Cold Weather Parka…
your
Parka
is for the
Field,
Not
the
Motor
Pool!
No matter how
cold
it is, it's not a
good idea to wear
your cold weather
parka around the
motor pool. Grease
or battery acid
ruins
it.
Here's how
to get plain
old dirt off
your parka…
Eventually,
though,
you'll need
a
new
parka.
Here are
parka
NSNs and
sizes:
Do not bleach or starch the
parka. That
ruins
the fabric.
Tumble dry on a delicate low
heat setting.
Better yet, let
it air dry.
Hang it on a plastic
hanger so rust doesn't stain
the parka.

…makes
life a
walk
in the
parka!
And
remember,
good PM…
curse
you! I’m
melting!
what a
world…
Hey,
that
hurts!
Wringing
me out ruins
my water-
proofing.
Ahh, now
this is
the way
to park-a
your
parka!
Grease
is the
word…
