Washing machine on light. Let dry with a fan or a long summer ride. After dry spray with waterproof spray so it will not happen again.

Staying out of those smokey titty bars may help.

I enjoyed a cigarette reading this thread.

Do not take it to the dry cleaners, it will be ruined. Just wash the zip out liner, wipe the jacket down with a damp cloth then hang it outside.

One of the many things I like about this forum is that no matter how serious the question you are sure to get about a 10 to 1 ratio of answers that are sure to jack you up.

Ride lots of miles, smell will eventually go away.

+1 on the newspapers idea. Newspapers took the smell of gasoline out of my watchband. You have to crumple them up though, not just lay them flat.

I've gotten leather jackets soaked from rain, and just hung them to dry, but the leather would start fading and looked like it was cracking, probably should have used some leather conditioner on it or something.

you need more wind...just keep riding till it smells like a fresh mountain spring.

Soak it in beer and motor oil overnight, and then hang it outside in the elements for a few days.

The 'cigarette smell' will be a thing of the past.....
