Warm weather wardrobe

[DyerStraits]

I hope to pick up a bespoke light wool waistcoat later this week that was made to wear alone (wool all around the back). I have 5 yards of lightweight blue worsted wool I will be delivering to my seamstress for a lightweight matching kilt jacket and waistcoat. Even where we live, I get too hot in my more formal kilt jackets, so am looking forward to some lighter stuff I can wear when it's warm. We'll see how it looks.

Tropical weight worsted wool is quite breathable and a very good choice for warm weather suits, coats and pants. Even better is hopsack. When I was a university student I had a navy blue hopsack blazer that I regularly wore to a summer legal internship job in brutally hot southern Mid-West US weather, and remember how comfortable I was. I wouldn't mind at all having a kilt jacket in hopsack--it's also durable, especially wrinkle-resistant, drapes well and is ideal for travel.
