Maybe this is a question for Hugh.........



SO I've been to a couple of concerts in the last couple weeks......
I was disappointed that I did NOT catch the ripped off t#### from Bon Jovi........
Nor the super hot white tailored jacket from Joey (NKOTB)
>If I were closer those chicks wouldnt have stood a chance......<

Anyway.......

I was wondering...... how does a sweaty garmet like that last in a frame?
Any questions about preserving it? Will the sweat hurt or yellow? :popc:
Just putting that question out there! ;)
 
EEEWWWWWWWWW!!!! ;)


On white; would probably yellow

your whole room where said framed piece would hang might start to smell, well, let's call it funky?

Air out for a few weeks first maybe????

Suck the sweat out first, Nic. Then frame accordingly.

:icon9:
 
I have framed some game worn football stuff... you know with dirt and everything......

But ... and YES THIS IS GOING TO SOUND GROSS BUT I DONT CARE...

I would never ever ever wash a tshirt that Bon Jovi sweated in......... never ever....

I'm thinking I would want to spray anything on it either...... :shrug:
 
Perhaps it's time to revisit the "breather hole" concept? :bdh:

Click to expand...

I know there have been tens of thousands of game worn shirts framed over the years and I have never heard from anyone that a shirt or article of clothing has been comprimised because of perspiration. If it were me, I would frame it as is, sweat and all. A famous persons DNA alone will be more valuable than the autograph.
 
Had a lady in the other day talking about herTK she had bought about 5 years ago,that had both his DNA and some brush strokes by him and how she was planning on selling it in a couple of years to finance her sons college education. It was all I could do to keep a straight face and not make any comments.
 
Textile conservators make clear that the soiled components of fabrics are the most endangered. Clean fabric can be preserved best, but if DNA and other effluents need to be kept, they will survive best in the dark.

So Nic... put that garment where the sun don't shine.

:shutup:
