Thanks for the tip, I'll check Kriso out once I've settled in Ireland.

So today we went and bought a big suitcase. I was planning to pack SCA stuff first and then concentrate on the modern. I was in for a nasty shock — moths all over by beautiful handsewn clothes. Damn! Double-damn!!

After consulting with a friend and R, I've decided to get rid of the whole lot. I'll salvage the linen items. (Wash in 90°C, tumble dry on high and iron the hell out of them. Should kill the little buggers.) R pointed out that this is a perfect opportunity to make new friends in Ireland by having sewing parties for new clothes. Now I need to decide on time period and style.

I wonder what else will go wrong?
