Navy Single Breasted Linen Jacket
New & Lingwood · £425

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.
What we checked
