Wool hat smells.

[Matthew Bolton]

I have a Pacific Dorfman wool felt hat that I absolutely love to hunt in. The issue is that it has a specific sour type smell if it gets any type of wet and you can smell it for a day or two afterwards. Is there a way I can get that smell out?

cold wash in "woollite" by hand in the sink/lavatory, hang and let dry with no heat.

spray it with dead down wind, and good to go

Well if i put any scent away type spray on it it gets that smell. When i say it cant get wet it CANNOT get wet.

Wash your own hair...LOL most likely it is the sweat on the band, you do need to wash the hat, and spray it with some peroxide/baking soda and water mix. and let it dry.

Just finished washing mine....Ididn't have woollite so I used my no scent clothes wash.  So far so good!

Wool does tend to have an odor when wet, I never let it bother me because I still kill deer in wet weather.

Ok thanks y'all!

This Stetson Open Road is 4-5 decades old & smells like skunk scent, red fox urine, doe pee, & other dead stuff. Just try not to scare your targets.
