You know I have been on the hunt for a replacement for my white pleather scuba, but recently I started thinking maybe I might do blush instead. Of course it'll depend on what I find that fits.... but since blush is on trend maybe I'll have better luck in that direction this year.  shiny on "The White CM Jacket was worth the wait" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-white-cm-jacket-was-worth-the-wait/page/2#post-1178081 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 02:13:06 +0000 shiny 1178081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Re: keeping white clean I have a white jean jacket and a white pleather jacket. I also have had white leather or pleather handbags every spring/summer season. With white jackets, it helps a lot if you try to remember to wear a scarf, even a light weight one worn open and not wrapped, really helps to keep down the yellowing at the neckline. It's still inevitable, but this tactic can postpone the inevitable. My white denim jacket, which I wear everywhere including the beach, which gets sunscreen and all sorts of stuff all over it, just gets thrown in the wash on HOT with regular detergent, then hung to air dry. Preferably in direct sun light, as that has a natural bleaching effect. Pleather -- is great because it cleans really easily, just wipe with a damp slightly soapy cloth.  Last summer I bought a white pleather hobo and used it to death.. dragged it everywhere... put it on the floor (!) of dirty public places... it looks good as new, with a wipe down. My white pleather jacket-- going on 5 years now?-- also shows no dirt at all -- it's giving up the ghost not because of discoloration, but because the pleather is finally cracking, but only around the neckline. :-( Leather -- is more challenging. I have a gorgeous white hobo. A black dress which got wet in the rain in Hong Kong bled all over it, and it turned blue. I used hairspray in the hotel room -- LOTS of it -- and this removed much of the blue staining, except in the handle, which was braided. I then took it to the cobbler when I got home and they cleaned it up almost as good as new and I got another season out of it. I still actually have it, I haven't given it away yet.... though if I use it these days, it won't be during the day. Heh. :-) Then there was the white wool coat 3/4 length coat. Sigh. It was gorgeous. While attending a Bat Mitzvah (only the second time I ever wore it!), I sat down on the step at the synagogue... and when I got up, there was a black mark, which the dry cleaner was unable to get out.....

And I'm thrilled to hear that the fit and style worked out perfectly for you. Also echoing you about not really having problems with keeping my white items looking good. (white jeans do get grubby a little faster, but that's what washing machines are for, right:-) LACeleste on "The White CM Jacket was worth the wait" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-white-cm-jacket-was-worth-the-wait/page/2#post-1177573 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 16:37:21 +0000 LACeleste 1177573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So pretty and fresh!  Looking forward to seeing it on you!

I have white shoes, bags, coats, jackets, tops, skirts and pants - and truly - I don't bother about it. And the jacket is washable.  Suz on "The White CM Jacket was worth the wait" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-white-cm-jacket-was-worth-the-wait/page/2#post-1177497 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 15:26:58 +0000 Suz 1177497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well, I can't wait to see it on you. :) Maybe that will help a few of us make our decisions, no?  Johanna on "The White CM Jacket was worth the wait" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-white-cm-jacket-was-worth-the-wait/page/2#post-1177483 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 15:15:57 +0000 Johanna 1177483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Lovely jacket Angie. I would never dare buying something like that because I would be worried about keeping it white for longer than a day. Is it washable? Angie on "The White CM Jacket was worth the wait" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-white-cm-jacket-was-worth-the-wait/page/2#post-1177477 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 15:09:01 +0000 Angie 1177477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks so much for the sweet words, ladies. You're all lovely. (Can't type a lot,  my arms are sore).  You will see the jacket in action soon. Promise.  Sveta, the lengths of the Gap and CM motos are the same. But the sleeves on the CM are shorter and slimmer. The shoulder fit is smaller too - typical CM fit. Narrow.  Janet, is there ever enough white in our wardrobes? That should answer your question. lyn67 on "The White CM Jacket was worth the wait" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-white-cm-jacket-was-worth-the-wait/page/2#post-1177455 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 14:52:44 +0000 lyn67 1177455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Any picties, Angie??:-((( glad it works so beautifully, and you know, we can't wait to see it!

I've worn my Truth & Pride white leather jacket a good bit, even though it's a bit light for winter wear (hooray for a slightly generous fit which makes it great for layering underneath). And I have that white denim Aqua jacket I bought with you in Bloomies in NYC a couple of years ago, which I wear a LOT in the warmer months. I do get a lot of use out of a great white jacket. Do you think this would be redundant for me? That denim jacket won't last forever...
