Straw hats and smoke

I'm fairly new to the fedora world, so I'm in need of some guidance. I have a yearly tradition for St Paddy's Day that will end in a smokey bar. I'd like to wear a straw fedora but I'm concerned about the aroma sticking. Should I buy a spare or is febreze safe? I saw a post with a link to smoking hat care, but it redirected me back to the home page. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

All I know is it took about 3 months for my leather jacket to get the smoke smell out. I left it out on the enclosed back porch in the fresh air day and night. I imagine straw, as well as felt, would pick up those odors as well. I'd take a cheap straw to a bar and leave my nice straws at home.
