I just came across my dad's last uniform with his bomber wings and awards..what is the best way to preserve it? It has been folded in a storage box and when sorting today I came across it.

Any suggestions?

A good start would be to air it well, then put it in a breathable suit bag and store it hung up.

Paul,

A second question also is...my dad's uniform has his bomber wings and more on this uniform, but I have been wanting to take all his medals, bomber wings, dog tags and other things and have them mounted...should I use the originals in the medal box or use replacements which I might be able to get? I am really torn about this as I have no idea what the right way is.
