Please do not place them in the sun as the answer recommends; sun fades the color and degrades vintage furs. Heat and light are generally both hard on vintage materials, from fur to the lining. Hanging is likewise not a good idea, whether on a hanger (which often strains shoulder seams) or even more so pinned on or thrown over a rough clothes line.
Odors are particularly difficult to remove from old furs. I would try a professional fur cleaner; the investment is well worth it to avoid ruining a vintage fur. If that's out of the budget (it is a little more than dry cleaning, last time I checked), I'd try airing it out in a climate controlled room or even the coffee and freezing method several websites mention. Please don't put these out in the sun for days, or on a clothes line! Save up for a professional cleaning if possible!
"You need to let these coats air out in the sun. Now that fall is coming you can have drier weather (not so humid). Allow them to air out for several days. Hang them over a clothes line or hang them up while on their coat hanger."
