What do you guys use to clean expensive nylon? Just dish soap and water and a rag? Or is there a specific wipe etc you can use to clean it?

Expensive...Nylon.

What type of fabric/weave? Is it a colorfast print?

In my experience Nylon is a closed cell synthetic and most stains, soiling, etc clean out fairly well with just warm water and mild soap. Oxy Clean liquid is my product.

Found these yesterday.
I was surprised that Oxxford would have details like this. True, you can't see them when wearing.

I picked up these two from the same donor. Looks like nicely detailed shirts.

This little number was hiding in a pile of M&S jumpers and high street crap, in a charity shop tucked away on a side street near Harold’s Cross. Damage was 14 euros.

Of note are the grosgrain patch reinforcements sewn into the armpit seams, an unique feature found in Hermès knits made by Ballantyne.

Which brand is that?
First was Oxxford, next two are Holland and Sherry bespoke. My first sight of these at this level. Have seen shirts marked as H&S but they were cheaper made and I assume just using their fabrics.
