Irish Linen Tailored Jacket

Drake's · £1,295

A navy Irish linen tailored jacket, shown from the front.

Worth being NRY provisional

Irish linen woven and dyed in Ireland to Drake's own specification, made up unlined with an unstructured three-roll-two front. Unlined is the point in linen: a lining traps the heat the cloth exists to let out, and most linen jackets are lined because it is easier to make. £1,295 is the top of this category and the construction is where the money is.

For
Someone who wears a jacket through an English summer and has been too hot in every other one.
Not for
Anyone who wants a jacket to hold its shape, because unlined linen creases and is meant to.

Marked provisional: the justification rests on 1 source(s); two independent ones is the bar. We publish it anyway and say so, rather than waiting for evidence that may never arrive.
