Much has been said about this, and much to be learned. Pretty much dyes are not water soluble, but may be bleached to white by the sun if so exposed. Nicotine and grease may be dissolved by alcohol, but no guarantee; dust by clean water and maybe a little detergent. May/will shrink, so make sure you have at least 10% reserve. Very little original or matching cloth available nowadays.
