I got a 24" x 36" mesh bag for only $1.94. I'll turn the coat inside out so the solied area is fully exposed. The washer has no detergent lid. The top of the spindle has a place where I usually add detergent. Hood lining is what can sell the jacket.

What difference does that make? Whether your washer dispenses detergent through the lid or the spindle, the machine still uses a timer pre-set to "decide" when and for how long the garment gets exposed to the detergent/water mix. If you wash it by hand, you can judge how well the soil is being removed, how well the vintage fabric is holding up to all the handling, and make the decision to rinse, soak/spot treat, agitate more, or run it through the machine afterwards for yourself. You have eyes. Your washer doesn't.

I put it through the delicate cycle twice and not getting the desired degree of clean. It did come out very good on amount of wrinkles to the nylon fabric. Whoever might want to buy the jacket can clean it how they like.
Agree. If I saw that degree of staining on a pre-owned garment the first question popping into my head would be how often the previous owner bothered to bathe! Gross. If I had to choose between buying this jacket and being cold all winter, maybe. Otherwise, hard pass. Anyone remember those ubiquitous "Ring Around the Collar" pre-treater TV ads? Even that didn't work on some long-standing cumulative body soil staining. Eventually, the shirt ended up being relegated to pulling weeds, garage cleanouts or tossed in the rag bag.
