Smelly Coat, y'alls

[MetroStyles]

Hey y'alls,

I stupidly wore my nice, down-feather Napapijri jacket to the gym several times this winter. I wore it home too, sweaty from cardio without showering before putting it on. Yes this was idiotic of me.

Now it kind of smells a bit (on the inside). What is the best way to get this out? Can you dry-clean a down-feather jacket or is there some other product to use?

Thanks, and apologies for the gross thread.

I like NikWax Down Wash. If it works for cleaning grime from extended backpacking trips it should work for a little sweat. I've heard that dry cleaning is not good for down as it strips the oils.

Not a cleaning product, but I have found smelly clothes (usually from clubbing/gigs) can be de-smelled by hanging them in a place with a decent breeze/ very strong wind. Gets rid of *** and sweat smells, although I have only done it directly after taking the garment off, and it might not work if the stuff has really soaked in. Good luck.

Yes, *** smells can be very embarrassing until you come out and accept them.

Once again, divided by a common language.

Yeah, it can be really hard to get the smell of those damn **** of after you have been in a club, they just kind of get all over you, they can leave you smelling and feeling dirty for days....

I need to remember most of the people posting on here use a whole different set of colloquialisms.
