Tom, I actually made that costume so I went and checked samples to see if any had a similar smell, all just smelled like burlap. Brunnen-G basically hit the nail on the head. It was made in the factory sealed in a bag and shipped. I think the gas smell is a combo of glue and burlap. If the mask still smells after you air it out for a while shoot me a PM and I will help you out.
