The G&B knits, or any synthetic knits I've owned, have always been solid. The used G&B G-1 I acquired on ebay, an older model with a Scovill zipper, are frizzy beyond belief. But my hunch is the original owner may have ran the jacket through the wash as well. Frizziness aside, I envisioned them holding up for a long time to come. As long as the knits don't start unraveling, a bit of piling doesn't bug me too much.

I've had some 'felting' too with wool knits that someone put through the wash...

I posted a thread asking about moths several months back.

I recall that there was an interesting "Myth busters" like test about all the old home remedies for moths. The one that actually worked the best was Lavender. As with the rest it works best in high concentrations like essential oils, but something that keeps away moths and doesn't make you smell like my grandmother!
