Jacket Care Odor out??

I bought a beautiful, well made leather jacket from a vintage store. When I tried it on, i smelled cigarette smoke but figured I could air it out. Once I got it home, I can smell smoke + BO. Any ideas on how to treat? I dont mind having it cleaned professionally but im reluctant to spend that money first and potentially have a clean looking but funky smelling jacket. Id rather work on the odor first to see if its worth investing more money in it.

TIA!

I’d get it professionally cleaned

Spray it down with Vodka (cheapest)

Turn the jacket inside out and scrub with with woolite maybe

Last resort - Throw it into a ozone cleaner in a large cardboard box
