I borrowed a Dainese jacket from a friend until I get my own. This thing reeks! What’s the best way to get this jacket to smell nice. It’s so bad I don’t want to wear it, which keeps me from riding! Safety is no accident!
I’m willing to do anything short of the dry cleaners

Plenty of cleaners specialize in Leather Jackets…
One place local to me charges $15 for leather jackets… $15 seems fair to me to make a jacket tolerable. Failing that, +1 for febreeze. I’ve found it to be hit-and-miss with sports wear… I recommend the “anti-bacterial” version for anything that has seen lots of sweat (my guess is that this jacket qualifies).—

Also, if the jacket stinks like you say it does, be nice to the dry cleaner and fabreeze the hell out of it and let it air out first before dropping it off to the cleaners.
