If all mold has been removed then your leather conditioner should remove a lot of the odor.

• Most people use a half vinegar/half water solution to remove mold odors.

• Alcohol is also something to try.
• Be sure to test an unseen area before using any solution on the outside of your garment.
• Fresh moving air works with odors like this also. Try hanging the garment in an open outdoor area for several days.
• This link has some good suggestions.
