You'll all be happy to know that they came through the wash with flying colors. They're hanging over my deck railing right now drying out in the cool fall sunshine.
I washed them on the extra gentle cycle in cold water with Woolite just to be safe. Most of the blood stains didn't even come off which was a nice surprise. The smell is definitely improved, still slightly musty just like I like 'em but without that pungent odor of river mud and 12 years of fat sweaty duck hunter that was making even my companions of the chase a little queasy.

P.S. to Roger: The hat remains in it's sacred state of filth and will never be washed clean.
