Off-gassing new polyester jacket

[shootingstar]

This is the 2nd time I've had this experience:

A new polyester based (well, a lot of athletic wear is polyester-based...spandex and so is lycra. ie. Most jerseys are polyester based, it's just nouveau iterations compared to the 1970's ) outer jacket has this off-gas new smell. So I end up 'airing' it in the living rm. near door. Not in closet. The jacket was given to us..by our employer since it has the corporate logo.

That bugs me. lst time was a new fleecy jacket. I ended up washing it to get rid of smell.
