Much as I hate to say it, I would advise washing too.
A friend gave me a big box of fabric that had been her mother's. I used some pretty corduroy to make a small pouch type purse and when I was turning it rightside out the fabric split. I was SO not a happy camper! Apparently it had developed dry rot. None of the rest of the fabric seemed to be affected, just that one piece.
