<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Behind glass case with motion sensors would be great!

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You might contact some local museums and see if they have any tips about preserving clothes of that era. That would be my first start anyways.<br /><br />Are you going to display them? Maybe make a bigger shadow box with the uniform in it? You might even ask some professional suit cleaners what their thoughts are on if you should clean it or not. <br /><br />Just some questions that popped into my head. Don't know if they will help or not.
