Navy Single Breasted Linen Jacket

New & Lingwood · £425

A navy French linen single-breasted jacket, buggy lined.

Worth being NRY provisional

Buggy lined French linen, which means the back is left largely unlined so air moves through it rather than being trapped against a shoulder. That is the difference between a linen jacket you keep on and one you carry. At £425 it is the least expensive jacket in this category and the one most likely to get worn.

For
Someone who needs to look tailored in July and has given up on wool.
Not for
Anyone who dislikes creasing, because linen creases and that is the material working.

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.
