I bought this about three years ago and have only worn it during the cold season. I didn't wear it that often because I rotated it with other outerwear. It has a nice texture and is warm, and although it's a men's item, it can be worn with a cute look. Both the corduroy and the boa have some signs of wear. It looks white overall in the photos, but it's actually a bit more navy. The elbows have a honeycomb-like wear pattern. No smoking or pets. There are no strange odors. Thank you very much.
