Can’t wait to try this! My friend gave me a St. John jacket tonight that she got at an estate sale. It wreaks of must and perfume. She said the dry cleaners wouldn’t touch it. I’ve got nothing to lose, so I will try this and let you know how it goes.
C2H5OH+NH3->c2h7n+H2O I think the odors mainly come from ammonia and alcohol binds to it and forms dimethylamine or something like that. It boils at around 9 degrees c and then it evaporates with the water it leaves as a byproduct. I like to wear my grandpa's tweed jacket, but it has a musty smell. I thought alcohol would help, but I didn't know which alcohol would be right for fear of damaging the wool. When you said liquor store, I thought about ethanol. Thank you.

I often have to get out strong odors from fire smoke. It seems like my family is always having an outdoor fires. The way I fix it is by allowing it to hang downstairs in my laundry room. It actually works over time but it does take about a month. I've also aired it outside.
Dang, you're good looking! So busy looking at you in your vintage clothes that I had to rewatch to hear what you were saying. Headed to the liquor store, lol. Just what I needed to know. THANKS!!!
Hello Preston. Question... will this also disinfect the clothing? Wondering if this technique can be used on cloth and upholstered furniture, these days when we're trying to disinfect everything. Also, would straight rubbing alcohol work as well? Looking forward to your reply. Thanks.
I think that that would work. I am going to try the Isopropyl Alcohol tomorrow. I bought a really nice old cardigan from an op-shop and it has a musty smell. I will wash it and if it still smells I will try the Isopropyl Alcohol.
Really wish I watched this earlier... Just got two vintage skirts back from the drycleaner and now both skirts smell like smoke as both were put in the same bag. Only one smelled before. 🫠
I am definitely going to try this, although I have a super stinky tapestry, I don’t think anybody wore it hehe maybe just straight mildew 🤷♀️ 🤢 do you think it will work!?
Will this work on vintage wool/fur felt hats?? I've also heard that naptha helps in cleaning and deodorizing felt hats, as long as you be careful of the leather sweatband
I recently bought two 100% used wool sweaters on ebay and washed them 2,3 times but wasn’t able to get the smell out :( . Do you think that alcohol would be able to help in this situation?
Coffee can indeed be an effective deodorizer--but we recommend that you get yourself some quality-made cedar shoe trees, and start drinking your coffee instead! :) Thanks for watching. - Preston
just as I read "clean responsibly" our host said it;spooky. Five minuets ago I was reading the precis of a news story and the story came up on the TV;spooky spooky
Wow yes it works. I just bought a leather jacket with a tweed lining which had a musty smell, tried your trick and now the jacket smells a lot better. 😃👍🏻
You can actually wash mens suits and coats, its all about water temperature and the laying out of the piece during the drying process. I once had a friend who loved her vintage mens dinner jacket but dry cleaning etc didn't get the smells out so I laid it in the bath and with pure soap and a soft brush I washed it, rinsed it in vinegar water and laid it on towels after allowing it to drip for a day, I then pressed it with some lavendar water and rolled it around on the table to soften the fibres, it worked.
I also washed a stained white jacket that was dry clean only. It was "dry cleaned" & they said that they couldn't get the stain out. I love the way it fits & looks so I wasn't giving it up. I hung it out in the sun to dry on a well padded hanger & it came out perfectly! That was years ago & I still enjoy wearing that jacket.
Thank you, this is exactly the information I needed! And to further viewers: Gentleman's Gazette 1 year ago Rubbing alcohol has a different chemical structure; speaking technically, it's isopropyl rather than ethanol. To answer your question directly, though: no, it doesn't work well as a deodorizer. I can speak from personal experimentation on this point, as well! Thanks for watching. - Preston
Brilliant. I just sprayed a highly perfumed calico hanging shoe storer with Gordon's Gin....success! It took less than 2 nips. Thank you for this life changing tip. I have an inconvenient sensitivity to synthetic perfumes, & have struggled a great deal with thrift store (we call them op shops here in Australia!) finds due to both perfumes & stinky laundry detergents. I once had to wash an Alpaca jumper 14 times before I could wear it without getting a headache from the 'Poison' perfume in it. That stuff is intense! Thanks again!
@@Marg205did you already try it and did it Work? Im interested in trying this trick on an old leather jacket too, but im scared it will stain, or damage it otherwise…
Was thinking the whole time that most people in theatre constantly rely on this trick to get the funk out of costumes, and then you mentioned it! Really cheap, really effective way to tackle the problem.
I have to say I was not expecting this and I am very impressed by you! Your knowledge is amazing and the way talk and present yourself is outstanding! Thank you for the tips💕
I put my suits on "delicate," with a mixture of bicarbonate of soda, white vinegar, borax, cream of tartar, detergent and dish washing liquid (great for grease). My clothes come out look fresh even when washed in ice cold water.
Great tip! I've found some nice wool items from thrift stores that I've either had to donate again, or let air out for months because I couldn't wash the smell out of them. Will keep vodka in mind for future purchases. :)
Did not know about this, will most certainly try it. My way of dealing with such clothes up to now has been, hanging the clothes in one of those plastic temporary closets you often use in the attic. Then I put a large dish at the bottom with pure vinigar. Close it up and let the clothes hang for a few weeks. After that hang them on a line in the garden for a few hours, to air out. Vinigar can also help to remove odors from rooms that had a party in it or people smoking. Just put some small dishes with vinigar around the room.
I have just the jacket you're describing here. I have tried airing the jacket by putting it out in the open in sunlight alternating the inside and the leather side to face the sun. The smell had reduced some, but still there. I am trying isopropyl alcohol tomorrow. Will post results here.
It worked... Got a bottle of Isopropyl Alcohol and a spray bottle. Drenched the wool parts in it followed by open air sun drying. I also had the jacket in the sun for a couple of weeks prior to the treatment, just to air it. That also reduced the smell. But the alcohol did the trick. Jacket was in a suitcase for 5 years and 5 months.
@@cindirs1 mine is part wool (inner lining) and leather on the outside. Just spray inside with rubbing alcohol (Isopropyl Alcohol) and hang inside out in the sun to dry. On the parts where you have mould growth, I would just rub off with an eraser first to see if that gets it off. Is it suede? Or finished leather. Mine is suede on the outside so I did spray a little alcohol there and ended with a watermark, which went away with the help of sunlight. But took a few days though.

To Preston and Raphael, I've been enjoying the past few videos you guys have made on the topic of caring for clothing that cannot be machine washed/dried.

I'm looking forward to the future videos you plan to make! Are there any other common substances that would have a similar effect on odours, such as vinegar, lemon juice, baking soda, etc., or would these damage the fabric (such as suiting wool) over time?

Wicked awesome! My mover stored my clothes in a warehouse on a pier above water. For the clothes I did not place in suit bags, I have a lot of work to do to get rid of the funky smell. You just made my life a lot easier. Thanks much!
You don’t need that guys all you have to do is put rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle and it’ll do the same thing we had a musty dresser that was really bad. We had a little bottle of alcohol the higher, the percentage, the better I think it was 70% I would just sprayed it really really well I just left it came back smell was totally gone there. You go way cheaper than buying alcohol that you drink.
Was literally googling this question, right as the notification popped up.

I did not believe and try it. 100% true.
I learn a lot from this channel from years already and still learning. You are doing a great job Preston.
So far I've found no change in my use. Any special tips or hacks involved?
I love the last tip: "clean responsibly." Definitely a tip I'll remember!!
Beautiful!! I just got a second hand trench coat and it reeks of mothballs and possibly dry rot, but it is in amazing condition!!
Did u get the smell out?
Dry rot, and amazing condition don’t go together.
Yes indeed, the liquor cabinet is the solution for a lot of things! ;) Great video with some very useful information, Preston! Thanks!

If the active ingredient is merely alcohol, why not use isopropyl 99%? Much cheaper: no taxes/excise duty.

well this was a bit of a shock :D but interesting and good to remember!! thank you
so Glad to learn about this Hint, Thank YOU!!!

I'm going to try this on musty smelling vintage dolls...🤔
Is this applicable technique to leather jacket? leather has a bad smell too
Brilliant and necessary vid.

Great information!! Thank you!
Would this work for wax jackets?
Febreze air mist seems to be affective on cigar and cigarette odors’ and moth smell’

I am definitely going to try this, although I have a super stinky tapestry, I don’t think anybody wore it hehe maybe just straight mildew 🤷♀️ 🤢 do you think it will work!?
Oh, so a bottle of Stoli to share between my vintage clothes and me will solve the problem. I thought the secret ingredient was going to be vinegar.
Why not just "rubbing" alcohol? Does it evaporate too quickly?
You sir are top shelf..
Will isopropyl alcohol work? If yes, what percentage?
Will this also work on an antique steamer trunk?
🎉 Super helpful!
Does this work on hats as well?
Will this work on vintage wool/fur felt hats?? I've also heard that naptha helps in cleaning and deodorizing felt hats, as long as you be careful of the leather sweatband
Can you use this technique on leather?
Hello all! Does anyone know if you could use this on a leather jacket?
Interesting. Presumably other cheaper alcohols would work too... methanol, isopropyl...

What about mouldy smell from a 1930's woollen coat?
This guy just naturally walks around with a snapchat filter on his face 😂
what brand made this jacket?
I generally use ground up coffee beans to deodorize shoes. What does Gentlemen's Gazette think of it?
i filled mine with cat-litter and the cat pooped in my sneakers

You most certainly do not wash suits and jackets.
"Drip for a day". Unless you fully dry an item within 8-12 hours, it will smell musty.

No, straight vodka works. And the cheaper the better works just as well as the "fancy" stuff......
Why not use Rubbing Alcohol in a spray bottle? It's higher proof and more alcohol content.
Used rubbing alcohol and 2 seconds smell was gone!
Hi did it smell of rubbing alcohol afterwards? What rubbing alcohol did you use?
They recommend not to much because the chemical makeup is different and won't work as well
