Dry cleaning for tweed jacket?

[Liam]

I recently purchased a previously owned Tweed jacket from ebay. The jacket is lovely, but it does seem to have a slight smell to it, mostly like it has been stored for some time. Given that it is not new, the tags do not say how it should be handled. I would guess that dry cleaning is safe, but I wanted make sure. Is there anything else I should know about trying to get the smell removed?

Thanks,

It would depend obviously what caused the smell. I would try dry cleaning. Sometimes smells are so deeply embedded that you might only be able to mask them or reduce them but not remove them.
Good Luck...

Appreciated, never having owned a tweed jacket I wasn't fully sure dry cleaning would be ok, thought I figured it should be.

I would think that dry cleaning would be the preferable method for a tweed jacket. The buttons might be of concern if they are of a material such a bone, horn or metal and you might point that out to the cleaner.
