How to get rid of musty smell?

I have a sport coat that smells a bit musty from long-term storage. This afternoon I took it to a reputable local cleaner and was advised that dry cleaning wouldn't necessarily resolve the odor issue, but as we all know it could beat up the fabric. Any suggestions on how to make it smell fresher?

Repeat after me-
NEVER EVER WASH OR LAUNDER A SPORTCOAT OR SUIT.
I've seen the above garments after being hand & delicately laundered.
It's guaranteed ruin the interlinings & destroy the finish on the fabric.
You may simply need to send the garment to the landfill & avoid storing garments similarly in the future.
