Do I have to? I'm guessing yes, because it's felted. But this means I will probably give it away.
I think you can probably get away with washing it on gentle in cold water with woolite or similar, and then laying it flat to dry.

And if you're just going to give it away - it's not like you're really risking anything to try washing it like that.

It is wool (so it shouldn't smell), you are going to be wearing shirts underneath it, so you don't really have to wash it all that often.
