Since it’s inception in 2009, Kickstarter has become the hotbed for new travel gear. While not all travel products launched are hits (most aren’t), there is a decent track record: - “The World’s Best TRAVEL JACKET” which raised over $9m - The NOMATIC Travel Bag just recently raised a little over $1.7m - The Everyday Backpack, Tote, and Sling by Peak Design raised over $6.5m - The list goes on… One brand, Bluffworks, has launched 3 Kickstarter campaigns for innovative travel apparel. Founded by Stefan Lobel, a software guy turned travel product designer, Bluffworks’ ethos is making gear for “adventure and life”. (Stefan also has personally backed 216 Kickstarter projects so far. Primarily known for their travel pants, Bluffworks is branching out, having just launched a travel oriented blazer. Pros - Wrinkle resistant - Lots of pockets for securely holding - Lightly lined - Machine washable - Versatile - Comfortable, with a bit of stretch - Easy to alter (the sleeve buttons are decorative) I’m not a style expert – although an improving enthusiast – and I think blazer looks great with chinos, dark jeans, or even some dress pants. The blazer is easy to be dressed up or down. Pockets When I stopped by my local tailor in New York City, the first thing he mentioned was how the blazer had so many pockets. He claimed he had “never heard of Bluffworks” and therefore couldn’t gauge the blazer’s quality, then went on to tell a story about how he once charged a jewelry dealer $200 to make hidden pockets inside of the dealer’s blazer. There are a lot of pockets on this blazer. Bluffworks states that there are 10 in total, but there are 8 main ones: - Left inside hip pocket – there’s a smaller pocket inside this pocket - Right inside hip pocket – large enough to hold a book, or an iPad Mini - Left outside hip pocket – takes up the same space area as the inside pocket - Right outside hip pocket – identical to it’s left sided counterpart - Breast pocket – perfect for a pocket square - Pocket for cash or tickets in the inside lower middle of the back of the blazer – hidden and good for holding paper things - Left inside chest pocket – this has a loop closure, perfect for holding a passport and pen - Right inside chest pocket – this is zippered and can hold an iPhone 6s There is some tack stitching across the breast pocket and a few of the other pockets. You’ll want to carefully cut it so you can use those pockets. Here’s a list of items you (quite comfortably) could hold in the blazer all at once: - Pen - iPhone 6s Plus with case - Passport - Tickets - Cash, or a slim wallet - A book (this isn’t very comfortable) When you’re filling the pockets, just make sure most of your items are relatively flat. If not, it’ll bulge. Here’s a picture of the blazer with an iPhone 6s Plus with a case in the left side pocket. The blazer bulges slightly, but it’s not that obvious. Fit The Bluffworks blazer comes in sizes 36 to 48 with the fit options of either regular or slim and length options of regular or long. Originally Bluffworks did not offer a size 36, but after backer requests, they introduced the size. As with all off the rack blazers, if you want a truly perfect fit, you’ll probably have to stop by your local tailor to make some alterations. Every body is different, so it’s hard for a brand to make a blazer that automatically fits everyone. The sleeve length was about 2 inches too long, however I stopped by the tailor and $25 later, got the problem fixed. Cons This is slightly nitpicky, but it would be nice if the blazer were made from real wool. From afar, the blazer looks like wool, but up close, it’s noticeable that it’s just the heathered pattern. I understand the material is polyester for wrinkle resistance and for the practicality benefits (i.e. machine washability). When you use more technical materials and emphasize practicality, the traditional aspects are frequently aren’t as emphasized. The Verdict There’s a trend that many start-up and established brands are picking up on. Brands like Ministry, Ralpha, Nau, and others are making ‘formal’ clothes smarter, combining technical materials to make presentable yet low maintenance pieces. With the easy yet stylish blazer, Bluffworks cements itself in this category. The Bluffworks Blazer comes in two colors, charcoal heather and navy heather and will retail for $295. At the moment, since the Kickstarter campaign is still running, you can back the campaign and get the blazer at a pre-order price of $245.

Since it’s inception in 2009, Kickstarter has become the hotbed for new travel gear. Cé nach bhfuil na táirgí go léir taistil a seoladh amas (an chuid is mó nach bhfuil), tá teist mhaith: - “An Domhain seaicéad TAISTEAL Fearr” a ardaíodh níos mó ná $ 9m - An NOMATIC Mála Taistil ach a ardaíodh le déanaí beagán os cionn $ 1.7m - An laethúil Backpack, Tote, agus Sling ag Buaic Design ardaíodh níos mó ná $ 6.5m - Téann an liosta ar… One brand, Bluffworks, sheol 3 Kickstarter campaigns for innovative travel apparel. Bunaithe ag Stefan Lobel, Guy bogearraí iompaithe dearthóir táirge taistil, Bluffworks’ Tá éiteas dhéanamh fearas do “eachtraíochta agus an saol”. (Stefan Tá freisin tacaíocht pearsanta 216 tionscadail Kickstarter go dtí seo. 216!) Go príomha eol do a pants taistil, Bluffworks Tá Branching amach, tar a seoladh díreach taisteal dírithe blazer. Son - wrinkle resistant - Go leor de na pócaí do daingean a shealbhú - héadrom lined - nite sa mheaisín - Versatile - Compordach, le beagán de stráice - Éasca a athrú (Is iad na cnaipí sleeve maisiúil) Níl mé saineolaí stíl - cé enthusiast fheabhsú - agus sílim go Breathnaíonn blazer mór le chinos, jeans dorcha, nó fiú roinnt pants gúna. Is é an blazer éasca a bheith cóirithe suas nó síos. pócaí Nuair a stop mé ag mo oiriúint áitiúla i Nua-Eabhrac, an chéad rud a luaitear sé go raibh conas a bhí an blazer oiread pócaí. D'éiligh sé go raibh sé “chuala riamh Bluffworks” agus dá bhrí sin nach bhféadfadh thomhas an blazer ar chaighdeán, ansin chuaigh sé ar a insint scéal faoi conas a ghearrtar sé uair déileálaí jewelry $200 a dhéanamh pócaí i bhfolach taobh istigh den déileálaí blazer. Tá a lán de na pócaí ar an blazer. Deir Bluffworks go bhfuil 10 san iomlán, ach tá 8 príomh-mhodhnuithe: - Clé taobh istigh póca cromáin – níl póca níos lú taobh istigh seo póca - Ceart póca cromáin taobh istigh – mór go leor chun a shealbhú leabhar, nó Mini iPad - Clé lasmuigh póca cromáin – thógann suas an limistéar spás céanna leis an póca taobh istigh - Ceart lasmuigh phóca cromáin – identical to it’s left sided counterpart - phóca chíche – foirfe le haghaidh cearnach póca - Pocket for cash or tickets in the inside lower middle of the back of the blazer – faoi cheilt agus go maith do shealbhú rudaí páipéir - Clé taobh istigh póca cófra – Tá sé seo le dúnadh lúb, foirfe do ghabháltas ar phas agus peann - Ceart póca cófra taobh istigh – tá sé seo zippered agus is féidir a shealbhú ar 6s iPhone Tá roinnt fuála tack ar fud an phóca chíche agus roinnt de na pócaí eile.

Más rud é nach, beidh sé bulge. Seo pictiúr de na blazer le 6s iPhone Plus le cás sa phóca taobh clé. bolg An blazer beagán, ach nach bhfuil sé go soiléir. Fit Tagann an blazer Bluffworks i méideanna 36 go 48 with the fit options of either regular or slim and length options of regular or long. Originally Bluffworks did not offer a size 36, ach tar éis iarratais backer, thug siad an méid. Mar aon le gach as na bléasair raca, más mian leat oiriúnach fíor foirfe, beidh sé agat is dócha chun stop a chur le do oiriúint áitiúil a dhéanamh ar roinnt athruithe. Tá gach comhlacht éagsúla, so it’s hard for a brand to make a blazer that automatically fits everyone. Ba é an fad chum mar gheall 2 orlach ró-fhada, áfach, Stop mé ag an táilliúir agus $25 ina dhiaidh sin, fuair an fhadhb a shocrú. CONS Tá sé seo beagán nitpicky, ach bheadh sé deas dá mbeadh an blazer déanta as olann fíor. ó i bhfad, Breathnaíonn an blazer cosúil olann, ach suas go dlúth, tá sé faoi deara go bhfuil sé ach an patrún heathered. Tuigim go bhfuil an t-ábhar poileistear do fhriotaíocht wrinkle agus chun na sochair praiticiúlacht (i.e. washability meaisín). Nuair a úsáideann tú ábhar níos teicniúla agus béim a chur ar praiticiúlacht, Is iad na gnéithe traidisiúnta minic nach bhfuil chomh béim. An fíorasc Níl treocht go bhfuil go leor nua-thionscanta agus brandaí atá bunaithe ag piocadh suas ar. brandaí cosúil Aireacht, Ralph, Nau, and others are making ‘formal’ clothes smarter, combining technical materials to make presentable yet low maintenance pieces. With the easy yet stylish blazer, Bluffworks cements itself in this category. The Bluffworks Blazer comes in two colors, charcoal heather and navy heather and will retail for $295.
