I have a black linen blazer from ON from a couple years ago - the fact that the linen is cheap and stiff actually helps keep it from wrinkling too badly , and it gets softer after a couple washes. I really like the color on that one - lots of fun.

Ditto. I LOVE the color (orange is one of my favorite colors), but I thought the linen felt uncomfortable/cheap. If you really want it, wait a bit for it to go on sale; I wouldn't pay full price for it (even though it's cheap) because honestly I don't think it's even worth that much. I think the black one might be a better option, because the cheapness of the materials wouldn't show as much.
I bought this monday and returned it today. I thought the cut was really nice, but it will pill like crazy. I saw one in the store covered (like massively) with pills, which should have signaled me to not buy it in the first place. Better late than never.
