Have a Conduit jacket from Mountain Hardware, and it sucked up the wood smoke smell. I have washed it per instructions in sport wash, and an enzyme wash, and it still smells.

Anyone have a recommendation that I can use?

Try spraying it with Fabreeze - it works wonders! They even use it on used car lots around here to get rid of cigarette smoke smell.
 
Just air it.

You can accellerate this process by putting it in a tumble dryer on very low or no heat. Otherwise, just hang it up loosely in a place where the air circulates freely. Hang it up outside in the breeze if you can. You could also use a fan on a low setting.

Stop rolling in campfires! :D
I have removed smoke smell from clothing using a bit of baking soda.
 
Ya hippy! :D

Funny....not.....:grumpy: ...... I don't think baking soda will do it...the enzyme stuff is much stronger, and it barely touched it. The jacket has been washed AND dryed 2x now, and it still smells.

Maybe Fabreeze AND hanging outside?

Enzymes will do nothing for smoke, btw. Enzymes attack proteins. In laundry detergent, they're for sweat and body odor, that sort of thing and also for stains from biological sources such as blood, grass stains, berry and fruit juices, that sort of thing.
 
Whats the matter with your jacket smelling of campfire? I don't think I've ever worried about whether my clothes smell like smoke. But maybe I'm just weird?
 
Baking soda is a tried and true smell remover ,I've used it all my life . Just put some [up to 1/4 cup ] in with the detergent.
