I'm just wondering. Would you really want to own someone's sweaty clothing?
Sorry, having a germophobia moment.

Do you think screen used wardrobe pieces are cleaned before sales?

All three of the Stargate Jaffa costumes that I've purchased directly or indirectly through Propworx are certainly not washed. My first one still had hard pressed mild mud stains on the knees and an arm from a likely rainy shoot, my second reeked of a gym locker and got a hose down with Fabreze, and the third actually isn't too bad, but will get a dose of Fabreze as soon as I buy a refill. In any case, due to the paint job on the faux chainmail that would surely come off in washing, and it hasn't, that's how I know for certain what I ended up with.
So, if your costume/wardrobe pieces smell like an old clothes hamper then you've probably got eau de <celebrity name here>, stale and pungent.

Oh I dunno. It depends.
I could probably live with it
No, hang on. Truth be told, I'd insist it not be cleaned :lol

Well, yeah, if the choices are between Jeri Ryan's fancy dress, or some bear dude's forest junk rot infused faux chainmail, then the dress wins every time, Alan! =P
From the auction pictures on the internet :lol

Strange, I find myself wondering what 7 of 9's scent is like.
Peaches & cream, for sure.
... trotting off to the Dirty Old Man thread in the OT now :lol
Edit - I take that back. She's only one year younger than me.
Fair game. :behave

Compared to that screencap of back then, I look her dad now
Anyway, I'd much rather discuss 7's scent than some Jaffa's croth chain-mail :lol

I purchased a costume from propstore and it came cleaned. Heck, it still had the dry cleaners bag with it. Love the costume. Propstore is a great store to work with..
I think it absolutely depends on the piece and the company selling it.. Delicate pieces will most likely not be cleaned, pieces that get a great attention and are to yield a great price might get cleaned.. Also remember that wardrobe pieces also get cleaned by production regularly..
Also cleaning can be appropiate for certain pieces, as sweat and dirt are to further detoriate fabrics..

I was wondering the same thing. I bought a Denzel Washington book of Eli costume and while it has no smell i think/hope it was washed. In an interview, Denzel said he choose not to wear underwear during filming...lol. Its from premier props and the undershirt seems like it was cleaned so i think the whole costume was as well.
Don't you feel like getting it dry-cleaned ..... just in case ? :lol

I suppose i should.....just in case..lol
Question though, there are fake bloods stains and dirt on the wardrobe, do you think dry cleaning would remove any of that. All the blood drops are screen matched to the piece and i would hate to have them removed by dry cleaning.
