I finally ordered the jacket AND the pants........ disappointing results, however. The darn jacket is too short in the body. It exposes about 2 inches of my arse. I'm not that tall, by the way. Judging by the way the models look on the website, I should have figured it out before ordering. Also the material is almost wrinkle free but I can't say it's good for Los Angeles warm weather. Air doesn't go through and too much fabric exists between your skin and outside air. Pants have problems too. The belt loops are too wide made for jean size belts. Dress belts are something 1 to 1 1/4 inch. Jean belts are like 1 1/2 inch. if I wear dress belts, it makes a large gap in the belt loops, which are quite thick and frumpy looking too. Terrible style. Also the back pockets look like it s a bit open all the time.

I had a $200 off coupon from Brooks Brothers and ordered this one. https://www.brooksbrothers.com/Regen...efault,pd.html hopsack fabric (wool) rarely wrinkles and is always breathable. Orvis has one too but the styling was a bit AARP'ish...https://www.orvis.com/p/travelers-hopsack-blazer/4907

I guess the washable nature of the fabric at Bluffworks is still the best quality. I just wish it was better cut.
