Rei GoreTex coat and THE BEAST

There was an episode of seinfeld where a Valet made Jerry's car smell bad and nothing could stop it. I'm having that problem with my coat. Does anyone have any ideas for making smell leave goretex/nylon? I've washed it, I've tried febreeze, I've aired it out. And the smell remains. I don't know what caused the smell. It was in my car for a while (which doesn't smell too bad) and then it smelled like this. and it's been several months since the smell first started. The smell is kind a kind of musky b-o thing.

What the builder and mom do not realize is that this is *your* coat. You don't want to burn it. You don't want to have foreign hands touch it.

What I would do is go to Chipotle. Get a soda, and enjoy a good meal with the Missus. Sit there and laugh. Get the chips and the guac, you deserve it. You work hard for the money.

After your last refill, load up your cup with limes and lemons (sans liquid), complimentary to every Chipotle customer!

Then, go home and run the kitchen faucet with warm water. Then cram the citrus wedges and your jacket into the garbage disposal, and then flip the switch! That'll teach your jacket a lesson, and put a burrito where God intended.

I know, I know. You never would have thought of it on your own...I'm like a Martha Stewart without a rap-sheet.

Toodles!
