Can I remove the stains on the lining of this sport coat?
I'm looking at purchasing this used blazer from Ebay. It's in great condition except for some sweat stains on the inner lining. Do you all think I could get those removed with dry cleaning, or should I just not take the risk? I wouldn't want to buy it, pay for dry cleaning, and then the stains still be there.

What is the price point? I feel like this might be a lot of effort for dirty clothes and at a price point - inclusive of estimated dry cleaning cost or your own time to clean - you could perhaps save the money and buy a brand new blazer elsewhere?
at a certain price point*
$90 shipped plus probably $15 for standard local dry clean
new blazers of this brand are quite a bit more expensive than that
I dont think they'll come out with a standard dry clean, prob require a bit more time and effort
Sorry I also skimmed over - it’s just the lining and not the outside. I think it is fine and sweat stains can be removed, even a diy cleaning option can work especially as it’s just the lining. Sweat stains are common but the lack of maintenance care is probably what would steer me off when buying second hand.
ok thank you! but it does sound like you think removing the stains is achievable. I'll have to think about it. You're right about the maintenance issue.
