I wore this about 10 times each season for two seasons. I had it dry cleaned the first year and then delicately washed and stored in the closet the year before last. There are no noticeable scratches or stains, but there are areas that look like wear and tear due to the nature of the corduroy fabric. You can enjoy the different collar styles, and you can close it by standing up the collar. It's size 1, but it's roomy, so you can wear a knit underneath. I am a non-smoker and I do not have any pets. I purchased this new at a department store. Please feel free to ask any questions.
