I've seen a bunch of threads on apperal care. Wash, don't wash, scent matters, it don't matter.
Not debating either side, just sharing my approach. I wash my clothes with baking soda. I store them during the off season and between hunts in a rubbermaid container. I also take it a step further by cutting small branches off of a cedar or Christmas tree and put them inside the container. The smell stays strong inside the container for approximately a year. The cedar scent is absorbed by my clothes. Whether or not it makes that big of a difference, I can't say. I do know it's not hurting, I'm not spending a fortune on cover scents, and there is no scent like the real thing.
