Andy, first off, are these garments that are normally washed? I assuming you're the boxing hall of fame or something like that...I guess I don't know whether those satin trunks and robes are usually dry cleaned. Of course, that is out of the question...however...if the pieces are washable, I think you might consider washing them this one time, hand washing with Orvis, laying flat to dry on a screen, the whole nine yards. I'm concerned about old perspiration also, which can be a killer to textiles.
