Saul advised anyone with felt pieces to actively protect them against moths. He uses a spray called SLA.
Saul prefaced the next piece by saying that in the old days in many countries, dress was quite precisely, village-specific. People could tell by looking at your dress whether you lived in their village or what village you were from. He then showed this very interesting "apron" which he said was part of the women's dress for a particular village, likely in Greece, since that is where it was purchased.
