Re: cleaning leathers.
i haven't either...I mean, they don't smell so I figure they'll be ok. Need some new ones anyway.
Could just spray the inside with good old Febreze?

Re: cleaning leathers.
Never washed mine...ever. Every now and again i will chuck some baby powder down the legs of the trousers. The jacket, dont know, to be honest doesnt smell too bad and after i think near 8 years old, it aint bad. Wipe the outers down with baby wipes then if you must renapur.

Re: cleaning leathers.
i clean mine with leather cleaning wipes... they're marketed for furniture, but they get the flies and dead moths off a treat
