Brooks Brothers BrookEase

I was wondering what the general opinion was on the BB brookease suit separates. How is the construction on these? At 25% off, it seems like it's a good price to pick up a solid navy suit. Thanks in advance.

Also, the "sack" jacket seems to have the lapel rolled to the second button - does anyone have any knowledge of how this actually looks?

The material isn't that nice. Keep in mind also if you buy it on Tuesday before 1:00 p.m., you can get an extra 15% off.

I have actually been planning on getting one of these in navy for months, waiting for this sale. It's not the most stylish cut or best fabric, but it's great for travelling and BB suits are generally very sturdy and wear exceptionally well.

If anyone knows, would you please answer two questions:
1) Do you need the physical coupon to get the additional 15% off?
2) Can you make the purchase over the internet or do you actually have to go to the store?

Thanks!

If you make the purchase today before 1:00 p.m., you will get 25% + 15% off. You can do it over the interent. You don't need the coupon.

Another question: I think I am going to go with the 3 roll 2 "sack" jacket - however, it is undarted, will this give it a wide-body look? Will I be able to take this to a tailor and have him slim it through the torso (giving it a more fitted look)?
Thanks

Generally, don't go with a sack jacket.

So then I'm assuming that's a no. Would the brookease 2 or 3 button jacket with darts be a better option?
