Put the coat on a hanger and then put a large plastic bag (like the kind you get from dry cleaning places) over it.
Tie the top of the bag tight round the hanger so no air can escape. Fill a sock or a fabric bag with baking soda and tie the top of the sock/bag.
Put this at the bottom of the plastic bag and then tie a knot at the bottom of the large bag - again, so no air can come in. Leave it for a few days hanging up.
The baking soda will absorb the musty smell and take away the odour in the coat.
An old remedy my granny used to use. It works!

I recently purchased a suede jacket from e-bay that had bad smoke odour.  In the end I bit the bullet and put it in the washing machine on a delicate wash with soap flakes and lenor fabric conditioner.  When this was finished I could still sense slight smoke smells so I put it on a rinse cycle with another full measure of lenor fabric condition. I hung the wet jacket in the shade to dry and I am pleased to say it now smells lovely and has retained it softness and shape.
