My North Face Jacket made of nylon was recently stained with bleach which faded color instantly. It is supposed to be gray and black but now it has whitish stains where the bleach came in contact. Is it possible to dye it back to normal or take it somewhere to repair without replacing the entire jacket?

Help! This weekend I attended a rather raucous festival in an outdoor biergarten and I was spilled upon several times. This being February in snowy Wisconsin, I wore my good ski jacket to the beer-fest event. The jacket is a typical ski jacket, with a wind-proof, water-proof outer shell. The inner shell doesn’t smell. It’s just the outside. I have washed it once and it still wreaks like stale beer. Does anyone have any good suggestions of how to remove said stench from a ski jacket? The jacket is machine-washable, so if you know of any good detergents, please enlighten me. Tide does not work. The beer that was spilled on me was mostly of the doppelbock (very strong in both alcohol content and odor) variety, if that helps you with your answer.
