Leave it outside to air?

I used to work at a specialist dry cleaners. The jacket will go through 
a regular clean but will have an added process with special oils and 
stuff. If it needs it afterwards it'll get sprayed with a leather paint.

If it does get sprayed it'll never look the same again IMHO, looking 
more plasticy and cheap.

How about hanging it up somewhere airy with lemons or oranges put in the 
sleeves?

Try Febreeze or take it to a decent bike leathers shop and get them to 
send it away.

I'd wager Graham at GLF in Flitwick knows someone.

Wash it in the bath with a week bubble bath solution. Luke warm water.
Then rince out with lots of cold water. You have to be very carefull
about drying it. Not too quick. But at this stage it is about the same
as it would be after a downpoor...

Afterwards rub it down with your favourite hide food.....

Wear it to a pub... smoke a lot of cigarettes and spill beer on it...

If you're not into the pub scene, take the jacket out to the backyard, put it on the ground and piss all over
it.

Simple.  Find out what the previous tenant of the jacket did to
create such a stench.  Then do that.  You'll never notice the
jacket then, and Harmony will be regained.

I really don't know what the modern motorcyclist is coming to.
'What soap do you use to wash your bike with..."
"Oh I never ride in the rain..."
"How do I get this smell out my jacket.."

sigh...

I would be inclined to head down to the local Laundromat
and stick it in one of those big industrial front loading washers

do it with other clothes

turn the jacket inside out and zip it up to protect the leather

dry it in a cool place away from sun

then when dry go over it with your favourite leather treatment

I dunno.  Maybe I stood on it by accident.  Can't we all just be friends?

Vomit in your helmet, then your jacket won't bother you any more.

Cheers - now *that* looks hopeful, especially as they also apparently
do zip repairs, which I also need (OK, so it's great condition *apart*
from the pong and a zip...)

Have you - or anybody else out there - used them?  Recommendations?

Thanks
David

 I haven't used them but there is a reprint of a test from 'Ride' magazine
on the website.

I don't know about straining it through a bag lady's tights but the 
cloves and cinnamon was a nice touch.

Try putting it in a big bag with some cat litter (1) stuff! It works 
with smelly shoes. So bag it shake it about and leave it a while to see 
what happens.


(1) new, not used!
