Solid Black Polyester/Wool blend Robbins and Brooks Three Button Work Suit with Single Pleated Pants The Robbins and Brooks suits are our most popular! Due to the poly/wool content, (57% wool, 40% polyester, and 3% lycra) these suits are called “dual-climate” suits. That’s because they act a lot like insulation for a house: in the hot months they keep you cool and breathable, and in the cold months they keep you warm. These suits are also Super 120’s.
Please note that these jackets are also nested with a particular size pant. When ordering the pants, subtract 6 from the size of the jacket. For example, a 40 regular would corresond with a size 34 pant. If your son needs a different size pant than what corresponds with the jacket, please call us before ordering.
The features and benefits of the Robbins and Brooks suits are: JACKETS • Teflon® Coated – if you spill something on your jacket or pant, it usually wipes away easily, thus avoiding dry cleaning bills. • Side Vents – this allows the jacket to lay across your back better while standing, walking, biking, and sitting. It also allows more air flow and breathability on a hot summer day. • Semi-Athletic Fit – most people don’t realize how important this feature is for a missionary. This type of fit follows the contour of a man’s body well and makes him look sharp in his jacket. However, it also allows a bit of room for breathability, mobility (missionaries are walking constantly), and room for a sweater or vest if you need one during the winter months. Not to mention, most missionaries do gain a few extra pounds out there—even in walking missions! • Lycra – this is the material that gives the suit a natural stretch. The days of being uncomfortable while riding a bike are over. • Expandable Wingspan – remember Chris Farley’s rendition of “fat guy in a little coat” from Tommy Boy? Well, with built in expandable material in the wingspan, even Mr. Farley would have a hard time ripping one of these suit jackets. This really makes the upper body of the jacket comfortable, especially while riding a bike or folding your arms. • Pockets Galore – there are four pockets on the inside of the jacket. Plenty of space for a cell phone, watch, money, lip balm, etc. There are also the two standard pockets on the outside of the jacket. If you’ve never had a suit jacket before, you need to un-pick the sewing of the outside pockets because they are sewn shut. This is standard with any suit jacket. PANTS • Expandable Waist Band – the truth is most missionaries gain at least a little weight during their missions. It’s annoying, time consuming, and costs money to have your pants let out when that happens. Our customers don’t have to worry about that due to this feature. The pants expand a good two inches or a little more. This is also great for those times you just had a big feast at a member’s house and need a bit of extra room while you digest! • Seat Liner – this feature really beefs up the durability of the pant. Especially if you’re riding a bike during your mission, you’ll appreciate the seat liner because your pants won’t wear out in that area. • Reinforced Crotch Area – again, just makes the pant more durable and able to withstand the wear and tear that pants can experience during a mission. • Teflon® Coated – just like the jacket. So, any spills wipe of pretty easily. • Lined Down to the Knee – missionaries kneel constantly because they pray about 15-20 times a day…no joke! What better way to protect the knee area from wearing out than with a nice liner. Don’t worry, you won’t even feel the liner in the pant. Alterations: The pants and jacket come unaltered. The jacket is already a slight athletic fit. You can choose to alter them on your own, or have the pants hemmed free of charge at either of our stores. Our Layton store is just north of Salt Lake City, and our Orem store is on the way to the Provo MTC. Cleaning: The suit jackets are dry clean only. If you washed one through a washing machine, it wouldn’t fit or look quite right because there is lining inside the jacket to help hold its shape. The pants are actually machine washable. The tags will say “dry clean” only as well, but that’s only because the suit manufacturer puts the same tag on both the jacket and pant. Because many missionaries will buy several pairs of the pants to use as tracting pants, we have indeed made them machine washable. However, we strongly encourage you to dry clean any pants that you set aside to wear with a suit jacket. You always want to get the same wear and tear out of the jacket and suit pants so they look the same. But, if you’re in a bind and need to clean the pants before you can take them to a dry cleaner, you can machine wash them. Sizing: The jackets and pants are fairly standard size. When measuring, you have a few options. You can go to a local tuxedo shop and get measured, or you can measure yourself with a fabric measuring tape. If you decide to take your own measurement, here are a few hints to help you get the right fit.
