53% polyester/43% wool/4% Lycra according to the description. First time I've seen something like this, and it makes me think it would eventually disintegrate in the washing machine. Anyone else with experience?

This is not the target market for that. They're selling that to people who don't know how easy it is to care for wool clothes, don't see polyester as a red flag for suiting fabric, and wouldn't mind wearing a jacket in need of pressing.

What *is* the target marks for that? What are people doing while wearing their blazers that would require machine washing? Are people digging in the dirt in these, or cooking, or something?
