He buscado por ahí algo de información sobre conservación de uniformes. La adjunto.
Creo que sería útil abrir un tema al respecto. Cuando tenga suficiente información lo haré. También añado algunos links.
Básicamente
1. Guarde el uniforme fuera de áticos y de los sótanos donde el calor y la humedad pueden destruir telas.
2. Guarde el uniforme fuera del sol constante para evitar el descoloramiento,
3. Nunca guarde el uniforme militar cerca del suelo por un posible escape de agua o en sitio accesible a un animal domestico (yo añadiría niño).
4. Evite colocar un uniforme militar en una percha o maniquí por largo tiempo. Las costuras se estirarán o darán de sí probablemente.
5. Consiga una limpieza y una preservación del uniforme militar por un especialista cualificado que use técnicas y componentes de cuidado del museo. La colocación del uniforme y preservado correctamente en un cofre de museo-calidad o en una vitrina a la sombra y correctamente enmarcada son las dos grandes maneras de honrar a nuestros veteranos.
6. hablan de 6 meses de exposición y 6 de almacenaje, ojo con los cajones de madera, la madera es ácida…y también ojo con la exposición permanente en un maniquí o una percha…
7. no toquetearlo demasiado, un poco en contradicción con el punto anterior.
Podían leer estos puntos algunas tiendas de militaría que conocemos…
He visto en esto foro colecciones de uniformes, muy buenas, que si se siguiera al pie de la letra todos estos consejos sería complicado..en fin al final el sentido común y la responsabilidad de cada uno.

"By following some simple steps now to preserve military uniforms, you can ensure that they are stabilized to be passed on to the next generation." It is also important to remember to resist using or wearing textile heirlooms. Use them for display only. Textiles should be on display for a maximum of 6 months followed by 6 months in storage. Before re-storing, lightly vacuum clean the surface using a hand-held vacuum on the lowest setting. Vacuum through a nylon screen being careful to lightly go over the surface to avoid abrading the textile.
Care for old flags should be handled similarly. When preparing to store a flag clean it in the manner described above. If the flag is in good condition, it can be rolled in tissue paper and placed in a muslin draw-string sleeve. Flags should not be wrapped in plastic or put in a wooden drawer, as the wood is acidic and can transfer onto the fabric, causing it to become discolored and weakened.
"I had a woman bring an old flag to me wrapped in a plastic bag," Hanke said. "There was mildew growing on the inside because she had placed it in the freezer, thinking this was the best method of preservation. The rapid temperature change when it was removed from the freezer caused the mildew to develop. Sadly, it did more harm than good."

9. Keep the uniform out of constant sun to prevent fading,
10. Keep the military uniform off the floor...you never know when a water leak or a pet could cause damage.
11. Avoid placing a vintage military uniform on a hanger for an extended time. The seams will likely stretch.
12. Get a military uniform cleaning and preservation by a qualified preservation specialist using museum care techniques and components. Placing the uniform and preserving it properly in a museum-quality chest or in a properly framed shadow box are both great ways to honor our veterans.

The final point should be obvious: Keep your items out of direct sunlight. The light in itself isn’t exactly the problem as much as is the ultraviolet radiation that the light contains. This can cause cloth and even paint to fade.
So in a basement, you’re safe, right? Not necessarily. Besides generally being more humid than the rest of the house, many basements use florescent lights for illumination. Those provide a nice white light and can easily brighten a room. But these also send off a lot of UV radiation as well. Not enough to turn you into the Hulk, but enough that your items are at risk.
There are simple solutions, such as getting the plastic covers for the bulbs, or by installing plastic sheets if the fixtures are set into the ceiling. Plastic is generally “UV opaque.” For about $5 a panel (or $3 a sleeve) you can have a nice florescent glow without worrying about damaging your collection.
creo que el plastic anti UV puede ser una solución.
