Might it be the dye? Woad supposedly stinks to high heaven, maybe this is
related. If baking soda doesn't work, soak in cheap vodka, as many use it as
a deodorizer.

Subject: [h-cost] Vinegar, yuck!

Hello, all.

I purchased a lightweight denim jacket dyed a dark blue.  It's lovely, but
reeks of vinegar!

I've washed it three times, and the smell lingers on.

Any ideas?
TIA,
Michelle
