I do have an Alfred Dunner item and it is polyester but I had to look at the tag to know that because it looks like a textured matte heavy cotton blazer. I got it because of the superb fit, particularly well made in the shoulder.
But I do know two women who are regular customers and they aren't anything like has been described. One is a retirement age military wife who has lived around the world and has an air of being able to handle anything life throws at her. She always looks to me like someone on the way to or from the golf course. Very much a sportswoman look. She likes the brand for how well made they are. Her clothes are nothing like those linked on their website, though. She looks more like a page of the LL Bean catalog of yore, come to life. Wholesome outdoors look.
The other is in her 70's, still beautiful, with a cloud of white hair. Art degree in her native country and business degree in this one, so as to handle her rental properties. She's in the habit of climbing up to a three story roof to see that the work she ordered was properly done. Her everyday look is Alfred Dunner for the value and that it gives her the proper fit, since she's a petite plus. Her taste is for the more subdued items, though. Again, not like those pictured on the website. In what little leisure time she has, she's a regular symphony and opera goer and she really dresses glamorously for that.
