Moth repellent? So what’s wrong with the old tried and true European method of keeping the Peepot in the clothes closet. That ammonia smell keeps all the bugs out. And when the bugs are gone you can get a nickel for the pot contents at your local tannery——not seeing the problemo here?

I’m glad you posted this. I was on a tour of a castle in Ireland (Trim Castle) recently and the guide discussed the function of the garderobe. In addition to being a ‘privy,’ it also functioned as a wardrobe for the very reason you cited.

In the past, I would’ve thought ‘bs’ but this guide was so knowledgeable. Now, your confirmation seals it. Fascinating if a little revolting.
