Some clothes contain dyes and chemicals that give them a noticable sulfur smell. The best way to rid of this is to soak clothes in a baking soda/water solution. It doesn't really matter how much baking soda you use and it is cheap so be generous.

Clothes can develop a sulfur smell due to bacteria breaking down sweat and oils on the fabric. This process creates volatile sulfur compounds that give off the characteristic odor. Washing clothes with detergent can help remove these compounds and eliminate the sulfur smell.
