I have a vest that looks like it is suede, but the shell says 100% polyester. The inside looks like sheep skin, but tag says 60% polyester, 40% acrylic. I brought the vest to a place that is the middle person. The dry cleaner did not want to clean it. Do you think I can wash the vest in Woolite only and hang dry it without damaging it?

I've never had any problem with polyester shrinking more than a tiny bit. You can probably wash the vest in cold water. If you want to use Woolite, you can, but Woolite is just a mild detergent and doesn't have any magical powers to keep something from shrinking. The cold water and not drying in the dryer is the key.
And now I see that this post is about 2 years old, so you probably figured out what to do.
