Packing isn’t always the
easiest thing to do, especially when you are trying to get everything you need
into a carry-on. Add into the mix a variety of activities on your trip and it
can be hard to figure out how all the clothes you need to bring can mix and
match. Well, for guys, Bluff Works has the item of clothing that can save you
some serious space and help you pack more quickly and with less stress. They
make travel pants great for work and play.
Women have their little black
dress that can take them from sightseeing to fancy dinners and now men have
Bluff Works that do the same thing. These great-looking pants are breathable,
wrinkle resistant and have a flattering flat front. Eric was thrilled to try
these pants out, because he loves a multi-purpose piece. He also almost
exclusively wears dress pants, even when not going to work. He just isn’t a
jeans guy, which is tough when he needs to do yard work or something equally
physical. With this in mind, we picked a variety of situations to test these
pants out in.
When the Bluff Works package
arrived and I opened it, I was impressed that they came as you would pack them
in your suitcase: rolled up. Next, we loved that they are made with breathable
and lightweight polyester, but the weave makes it feel silky and look like
linen. The pockets aren’t slash pockets like in many dress pants, so they don’t
bulge out awkwardly, but fit flat against the body, even with a wallet and cell
phone in them. The back pockets are also attractive and the backside of the
pants have a flattering cut and don’t ride up too high or down too low, which
means they also don’t sag!
As you can see, these pants
look great with a dress shirt and also a polo shirt. They are going be the most
amazing piece of clothing for travel, because they stretch enough to let the
wearer have enough range to go hiking, biking or tromping through the forest,
but also sharp enough to wear sightseeing, a business meeting or the theater.
In fact, Eric wore them out to brunch, to the movies and then immediately came
home and started digging in the dirt for a new raised bed he was putting in for
me. After the whole day, they were still wrinkle-free, still smelled good and
really looked as if he had just put them on.
What I liked most about this
brand is that they say that they are so sturdy that you could wear them every
day for a year and they won’t fray. Not only that, but if they don’t work out –
for any reason – they will take them
back. No questions asked. With a promise like that, how can you go wrong? With
a man who is as hard on his clothes as mine is, that’s a pretty important
feature in any purchase. And since they are quick drying and moisture-wicking,
you can get by on vacation with just two pair and a variety of shirts, because
they look good with just about everything. Now, if only they can make these in
shorts, because we’d be adding those to our travel bag as well.
I love that Bluffs started with
a dream of the ultimate pair of pants and it was achieved through hard work and
a Kickstarter campaign. We’re so happy that Stefan Loble’s dream came true and
he was able to bring us an amazing product that is going to be a fantastic
addition to any man’s travel wardrobe. Look put together whether taking your
girl out dancing or paddling around in a canoe. They are truly versatile and
you’ll be glad you took a chance on them. You probably didn’t know that
Stefan’s dream pants were yours, too!

Disclaimer: We were provided with a pair of Bluffs for the purpose of this review, but all options are my own and Eric's.
I just ordered a pair for my husband, but Khaki and light grey were sold out. I'll need to wait awhile, I guess, since everyone reading this post before me most likely ordered those for summer.
ReplyDeleteAll the colors are nice though. I think your husband will love them.
