I've hunted over 50 years, killed over 300 whitetails...I have never bought any scent control clothing or washed my clothes in something special...I do buy non scent baking soda deodorant and use scent free soap during the season...On top of this, I use to smoke, on stand and have killed deer with a cigarette in my fingers...I also spend a week every year camping out with no indoor shower, sometimes wearing the same clothes a couple of days in a row...
The secret to deer not smelling you is as simple as making sure you are down wind of them...

Scent Control Formula
2 Bottles of hydrogen peroxide 16oz
32 oz of distilled water
¼ cup baking soda
1 oz sportsman's wash laundry detergent or any unscented detergent.
(option) You can use ½ oz hunter soap earth scent. If you use the earth scent soap, cut the laundry detergent to 1/2 oz.
First poor hydrogen peroxide in bottle or some large open container. Then add the distilled water. Then you add the baking soda and the unscented soap. STIR DO NOT SHAKE!
Use a wood spoon and stir the ingredients together. Add very small amounts of baking soda at a time stirring until it is completely dissolved. Let this ferment for three days stirring one or twice a day. Do not seal tight in the first 3 days because it may build up pressure. After the three days, store the scent killer in dark containers like the peroxide containers and in my spray bottles. Light breaks down hydrogen peroxide.

Many have mentioned the wind... How much cheaper can it get, it's free?
That said, it also pays to understand thermal (air currents rising)and inverse (air currents being pushed down to the earth) conditions. A smoker can detect either of these conditions by simply watching their cigarette smoke. If you hunt in a camp with a wood stove, or have one at home, you no doubt have seen both of these conditions revealed by the chimney smoke. Also a simple campfire will reveal these conditions.
Just some food for thought.
