Stinky black denim help!

I bought ds a black denim jacket a couple of weeks ago, purchased online so didn't know it would fucking stink my house out. Has anyone had any success in removing the smell of this nasty dye that's used?

I've tried soaking overnight in a strong white vinegar solution (twice), bicarb, fabric conditioners, washed it numerous times, even tried zoflora. My neighbour had one of her bastard annoying day time bonfires the other day so I even left the jacket out on the line to see if it would smoke the smell out!! Nothing has worked.

Ds refuses to wear it until the smell has gone and I don't blame him. I would've sent the jacket back had I realised it would be such a pain Angry

I'd send it back. God knows what chemicals they used if it stinks like that!

The only thing that worked for me in similar circumstances was repeated washing and line drying.

Send it back.

Thanks for the replies. Ds wants to keep the jacket so won't send it back. I've washed it a few more times and line dried and the smell is definitely fading
