I'm going to try and air it out just like you did. Hopefully it would work! I was also disappointed with the orange peels, it turned out to be a zesty-mothball smell :( If that doesn't work I'll try the activated charcoal/carbon Thanks again and thanks for commenting! @Kells Thank-you so much for your suggestions!

I've also heard good things about activated charcoal/carbon. You can buy it at any home improvement store.

I checked this blog as a reference because I recently bought a leather bag on eBay that arrived smelling like VERY strong "thrift store." I tried the baking soda & orange peels, but to no avail :( The smell was just so strong that I couldn't even smell the leather on the bag anymore! Yuck! Do you want to know what really helped? I put the bag on a hanger and hung it outside in the open air. Even in this cold weather, I put it outside during the day for 4 hours yesterday and 8 hours today. I think that did the trick! Maybe just a few more hours in sunlight if possible (I hear UV is good for getting smells out), but otherwise it is great! I smell leather :) I just wanted to give a little helpful advice for the leather jacket! Good Luck :) Hello!

I'm making a list of all the clothes I need to 'deodorize', I'll let you know how it goes. I’ve decided to try the baking soda as well.
