Hello!

Ever since I had a kilt made last year (Lochcarron, Matheson Hunting Modern) I've been hooked and have been looking to expand my collection. In between buying high quality ones I have been scouring eBay for nice ex-hires which are budget friendly (we all have to keep the missus happy).

Recently I bought a nice medium weight wool Hunting Stewart in my size and a good price (perfect for those outdoor adventures).

However it smelled like it had been in a basement for quite some time. So first I aired it out for a few weeks, emptied two bottles of Febreze on it (checked on the back first if the wool could handle it) and even sent it to the dry cleaner (it survived), yet the smell is still there.

So I am looking for the best solutions to get this smell out. Does anyone has an idea?

I read a mix of vodka and water misted on is an option for some smelly garments, so I might try that next.
