Hi Geoff and welcome to VLJ. A careful wash with Johnsons baby shampoo and rinse will help as well.Hello everyone, I'm totally new to this forum, this is my first post, and must say I have learned so much from you guys through lurking. I now have a question if I may. I have just acquired my first vintage G1, a Martin Lane with beautiful mouton collar, the leather in beautiful oveall condition, from 1968. The cuffs and waistband are moth eaten and will be replaced with a new set in seal brown in keeping with the originals. The mouton collar, though, does need a bit of deodoranising. do you have any suggestions please. Would the sandalwood oil above work on mouton? Any advice much appreciated. Thank you...

Welcome aboard Geoff and nice jacket btw!
Just to let you all know I used a very light spray of Fabreeze on the collar by spraying above it and letting it fall down. I also aired it for a few days outside when the weather became fine, and it seems to have worked. Thank you all for taking time out to advise, and for your kind words of welcome! Now to replace the cuffs and waistband... Sadly they are motheaten and rotting...Second that!
Also the hint with FABREZE or how it is spelled is fine - works for all my vintage stuff so why not with that collar ...
