Leather jackets seem to attract a lot more smell. Even if I keep them of a tinge of smoke remains. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cigarette-smell-in-jackets#post-1769293 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 15:40:22 +0000 Maneera 1769293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hang out in fresh air.

I wash most clothes to get rid of the smell or for jackets, I do find that if I don't want to send them to the cleaners, putting them outside in the fresh air and sunshine does seem to get rid of the smell too. I purposely wear clothing that can be washed &nbsp;when I catch up with these friends so that there is no issue regarding the residual smell. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cigarette-smell-in-jackets#post-1769223 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 10:18:15 +0000 shanaya2 1769223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To all the smokers out there: How do you get rid of the cigarette smell after a smoke from the jacket?? </p>
