I ordered apparel, and it smells like vinegar. Should I return it?

You may notice a vinegar-like smell when first opening a package with your clothing. This results from a pre-treatment agent used during the printing process (called direct-to-garment), which ensures the print properly adheres to the fabric, making it last longer. Washing the shirt will eliminate the smell. This doesn't always happen, however; it depends on the product.
