Someone actually donated a winter white cashmere coat to our thrift
store last week when I was working there. I am sure it is gone by now
as we priced it for $15. Winter white would be fine here where it snows
every ten years. My youngest child has a pink wool coat and I am sure we
would have white coats if we could justify just having more coats. I've
worn my green one just three or four times.

I was in Washington, DC, last week. When I was out to dinner a couple
times, I saw a number of women wearing white coats. The coats appeared to
be wool or cashmere––very tailored and, imho, very attractive.
My mom, who is in her 80s, waxed rhapsodic about a winter white cashmere
coat that was made for her when she was a young woman living in NYC in the
late 1930s. In pictures, it appears as the classic loose vintage coat––to
die for!
I'm such a shmutz–magnet that I can't imagine wearing a white coat; I don't
even have a camel–colored coat, though I've considered it. Slush is not
pretty; it often doesn't even wash out of my washable clothes. (I assume
the slush contains various petroleum leftovers that just don't wash out.)
Have you owned a white winter coat? If so, did you enjoy it––or were you
afraid to wear it?
If you *haven't* owned one, would you want to?

I have a cashmere off–white (winter–white) winter coat – loose, classic
cut, below my knees. This is not my first white winter coat and I am
sure it won't be my last, since I really like the look!
I am not the kind of person who will not wear a nice piece for fear of
destroying/wasting it – I have done that in the past and always
regretted: these days, the more I love an item, the more I wear it,
even if it means it will not last long.
I am not terribly careful with my outerwear, but haven't had problems
with white coats. During the week I have to drive to work – I think it
makes a difference that I don't walk around much wearing my coat, nor
do I take public transportation. Also, I live currently in a mild
clima, so there's no snow, nor much mud around.
When I lived in Northern Europe and walked to work, I had to be much
more carefull – nonetheless, as long as I avoided very long coats, it
was also manageable.
It's funny that, having said this, I would love to have a nice fitting
pair of winter white trousers, but, with a young daughter and dark
shoes, I fear those would be dirty all the time...

I certainly agree about not saving our favorite pieces because of the fear
of what will happen to them. I am, however, phobic about white.
Do you have the coat cleaned on a regular basis or do you wait until it's
noticeably dirty? (How many times during the season do you think you clean
it?)

I've never owned a white winter coat and don't think I ever will unless
I'm no longer living in Slush Region, for the reasons everyone else has
stated. I just know I'd be crazed about every splash and would
eventually give up on it.

cofarb,
I too am a huge clutz. That is not well–coupled with being fastidious
about minor stains and imperfections in clothing.
I adore winter white and camel but would purchase neither despite my
yearnings. I would also love a light–weight white trench for spring.
I may be reforming my ways though. a friend recently selling clothes
had a beautiful lite tan trench that is the perfect weight for spring
when my slighter heavy black lite weather coat is just too much. The
coat came cheap, and in time I forgot about the small pen mark near
the collar that it came with.

I saw one that was unbelievably beautiful at a St John outlet this
fall. I didn't buy for the reasons you stated, plus I have a ton of
coats, and I am saving up for a mink coat. I loooove the look of a
winter white coat, but don't think I could pull it off here where it is
soooo dirty and gross in the winter.

cofarb,
I have my coat dry cleaned only when needed – at that point where I,
upon close inspection (cuffs, neck), find it already "noticeably dirty,
but others will hopefully not see it yet.
I have been lucky and never got bad or dark stains on it, just general
dirt from wear. Since I rotate with several other coats, I usually
clean it twice per season: around January and then again at the end of
winter.
Somehow, I find the wool/cashmere easier to care than my (light grey)
Burberrys raincoat: if nothing else, the raincoat is always stained by
dark, over–the–shoulder, bags.
