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.
Are you sure it is vinegar and not cat or dog pee? Either can leave a
lingering sour smell. There are some cleaners specifically for that, at pet
stores..

Have you ever smelled an natural fermentation indigo vat?
They're...fragrant, and not in a good way. Synthetic vats are less
stinky, but they're still not pleasant, so the smell is probably a
carryover from the dyeing process.
It *should* rinse out, but if it isn't I'd try one of the methods already
mentioned.
