Stinky Barbour?

Hi, my DP was just given a lovely Barbour jacket by his dad, who bought it years ago but has never worn it. It smells really musty, I've had it hanging up for a few days now and the smell doesn't seem to be dissipating at all, I've even given the inside a squirt or two of febreeze Blush but that doesn't seem to have made any difference.

Any ideas? I don't really own anything else that can't just be slung in the machine.

buy some barbour wax, and re-wax it. Will smell much better. Anyway the more he wears it outdoors the smell should go if it is just old mustiness.

Thanks, he's already got some Barbour wax, will give that a go.
