So What is This Smell

So I am sitting at the computer tonight doing odds and ends computer things.   After work, I changed out of my work clothes into a set of comfortable sweat pants and turtleneck jersey. This is clothing I had previously worn, but only a time or two, and did not feel it was ready for the laundry bin.  A few minutes ago, I rubbed my hands along the thigh of my pants and the  odor of kerosene  became obvious to me.

How can this be?  I do not have kerosene lamps or fluid in or around the house. I am not concerned for my safety, because I have no cause to have an open flame near this clothing.   And the more I rub, the more the smell dissipates.

But this is too creepy. The cloth feels oily and the odor is present if not strident. I think, when I disrobe tonight, I will put this garment in the shower, and soak it down, when I take my morning shower.  It is a little disconcerting.
