Clean. Pls. note: I live in NE and have a fairly new wood burning stove operating during the winter season. Although, I have no complaints of home smelling of smoke (no cigarette smokers), I could be immune to any smokiness, so please keep that in mind when purchasing a clothing item, which could filter in smoke particles (item far from wood burning stove); have air purifier machine on, but no guarantees. Again, I scent-test all garments, but may not pick up any smoke scent prior to shipping.
