I need a good linen or cotton jacket to wear this summer. I live in Texas, and it's too hot to wear my regular navy blazer. I have never worn linen jackets before, so I need some style recommendations. Also this is my Hermes pocket square I'd like to wear with it.
If y'all would be so kind to piece together a Sunday outfit for me, that would be so cool. Besides the pocket square I don't want to look too flashy, so no white linen jackets or striped seer sucker
You try a cotton jacket? J Crew has a nice cotton blazer. They come in navy I believe.

I noticed j crews jackets were fully lined, and it's just too hot for that

Pure linen wrinkles like crazy, and I personally don't think blazers full of wrinkles look good. Look for something between 25% and 40% linen with the rest being some other decent natural material if you want the breathability without the crazy wrinkles.I'm also somewhat in the market for a summer blazer, and pure linen is a no-go in my book.

i thought they had some unlined ones? Well an unlined option is this one i bought from Belk, its a really good price too

Polyester in blazers and suits should be illegal.
>>11440390
the only polyester in it is the sleeve lining

Can't see that anywhere on the website, but polyester should still be illegal.
PRL has pic related in a linen/wool blend, probably nice for summer wear.

Out of medium...
I'm totally fine with lining in the sleeves, otherwise shit gets caught in your shirt

lol this site has awful material descriptions, but believe me. I agree that polyester is awful though.
Anyone have picture examples?
>>11440416
At that price I could live with polyester if it was sleeves only, shame they're out of medium.

Yeah that's a bummer, its a really comfy jacket
I'm driving. Anything on here look good with that pocket square, guys?

Nah they don't have anything other than white or pink for cotton blazers. I go there sometimes to look for sales on sweaters but that's all I ever buy from stein mart.
Uniqlo has a linen/cotton blend blazer. I have no clue about quality though http://www.uniqlo.com/us/product/men-s-linen-cotton-blazer-163531.html#69~/men/outerwear-and-blazers/blazers/linen-cotton/~
