It also comes in ivory:
After much internal debate, I ended up choosing the ivory over the navy color. I love the military style and the fact that it fits a little longer on my torso (a quality hard to find!). I also think the style will go well with my existing wardrobe. Plus after I tried it on for X, he said he loved it and suggested I go back and get the navy too (wha?....). I need two jackets much less than I need this one.
Anyways, I loved it so much, until the next day. Then doubt started creeping over me: Ivory- doesn't it get dirty? How often will I end up dry cleaning it? Will I even wear it?
Any one else own a white-ish coat? Is it a staple for your wardrobe or could you do without it?

I have a cropped white jacked that I wear all the time in the spring and fall, and I love it. (I posted about it here: http://www.claremontroad.com/2009/one-is-never-too-old/ ) However, it is machine washable, so that makes me less hesitant to wear it all the time. I have noticed after several wears that the neckline gets a little dirty from makeup residue, so I've washed it before. If you're willing to get your jacket dry cleaned a few times a year, I think it's a gorgeous piece that will last you a few years. I say keep it!!
I have had a bunch of white and cream jackets over the years and I wear them with everything- navy, brown, black. They do have a shorter shelf life, but they are so wearable. Love the one you got!! And yes, dry cleaning every few months is key.
I like the ivory! You'll have to clean it more but the fabric looks more durable so you may be able to spot clean it as needed.
