I've got a 4 year old ELC horsehide A2 that has been pent-up in my closet for about a year. The last few days have been cool enough for a jacket, so I went to the closet to break out the ELC and was greeted by sickeningly sweet/sour smell emitting from the jacket. The smell was borderline urine-like without the ammonia content (no, the dogs didn't get to it!!! :lol.
I've worn this jacket in just about every weather condition, including drenching rain. I'm wondering if being wet could cause this? I have a LW's A2 about the same age that smells fine.
Has anyone else experienced weird smells from their horse hides?
Any suggestions on how to fumigate or refresh the jacket?
