Musty vintage coat

I have a vintage sheepskin / fur coat. It smells musty and I've tried febreezing it, steaming with vinegar/water and leaving it outside, but not for too long at the moment due to risk of showers.

I can't afford to have it dry cleaned - please, what else can I do, the musty smell is still there. It is beautiful and warm and I want to wear it!

Maybe try bicarbonate of soda?

How would I use that TeacakeEater?

First google to see if it is ok with fur / sheepskin as I've never used it for that!

For carpets and upholstery I sprinkle liberally and leave overnight then vacuum off. It is a great smell absorber.

I've just googled and it says you can use on Sheepskin Uggs so must be OK, will give it a try tonight, thank you!!
