reusing wool for jacket?

I have a wool toggle coat that was my husbands that I would like to use to make 2 of the school days jackets.

I still have to do a bit of measuring to see if I can really get 2 out of it but I'm hopeful.

If I do I'm going to have to use up most of the pieces, which means ripping the seams where there were pockets, etc. I've started this and its going well, but the resulting fabrics has dents and folds from where it was stitched. Not to mention that it is a bit dusty/full of crumbs in some areas

Any tips for cleaning it up a bit? One thought would be to hand wash it, not sure how the boiled wool would like that?

Thanks!
