Put it in the washer on cold water pre wash with a cup of white vinegar. Let it soak for an hour then run it through a normal cycle with liquid fabric softener. Put it in the dryer on air dry with some tennis balls tor a couple cycles.
Vinegar will neutralize and flush alot of the chemicals out of the fabric that make it so stiff. You can do the same with jeans.
