I have a ghille suit that I made last summer, and if you hang it outside for a few days prior to hunting that should help with it some. I mainly played paintball in mine but I know I could kill a deer with it if I wanted. Just too cold to wear it, I have to bundle up to stay nice and toasty. Also, just take it and throw it around in some leaves, the worse it looks the better. Remember, you're trying to look like nothing, not like a pile of burlap and leaves from Walmart.
