I purchased a vintage GAP leather. I like it a lot but it has a faint smell...Its not bad, but its not good. Does not smell like rot, but more like a clean wet dog without any added frangrance if that makes sense.
I literally put this jacket through the ringer. I am not afraid to wash a leather jacket (of course it depends on the leather) in a washing machine and rant this 2x. Its better, but still there if you are standing near me. I recall when I took it out of the washing cycle when it was wet, the scent was the strongest, but faded as it dried. I just did the 2nd wash and going to apply mink oil to re mositurize and maybe lock in the scent.
Any ideas on how to neutralize this? Thanks
