When home, take out seams, remove buttons etc and interfacing. Wash in hot water.
Might seem like lots of work but real felted wool is extremely expensive in stores. I have a friend who loves to find special colors of wool clothes and will even dye them to the colors she wants.
here are some instructions but you can find more online
