<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rufus@frockstarvintage, post: 295768, member: 5939&quot;]An ozone machine is the best to remove odors but those are not a common household appliance (I want to say someone here has one; not positive though).</p><p><br /></p><p>Instead use white vinegar in a spray bottle - enough to dampen inside &amp; out without actually soaking. Airing outside in shade is best - point a fan toward the hat so the air really gets in &amp; around. Every 30 minutes or so spray more vinegar. May take a couple days but the smell should fade.</p><p><br /></p><p>Vinegar shouldn&#039;t affect color but maybe you should post a pic here first - inside &amp; out please - I&#039;d like to have a look to be sure you are safe.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the imperfect gloves, look for beaded applique (or harvest bits from damaged vintage pieces) or pieces of lace, braiding, ribbons, etc &amp; stitch over the damaged areas. Vintage buttons in scattered groups would be good also, just consider the weight (wouldn&#039;t want the gloves to slip off).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
