Jacket Advice needed

...daughters' wedding...the men will be wearing suits and ties...summer in South Australia - HOT
Are there any suggestions for lightweight kilt jackets, and suppliers?

It's been years, but I worked in NSW for a while (lived out near Lightning Ridge then in Paramatta by Sydney). I remember that there were folks who suited and tied for the Anglican church service there; seemed to favor grey jackets in a light wool. I bet you can find a summer weight (summer in Britain) wool in lovat grey or green easily enough. But if you can get by w/ linen, it's ton's cooler and breathes more. A bit casual though. I don't know how difficult, if at all, it is to get offshore stuff to Tasmania, but if you don't have a lot of time to shop online, I'd go with buying a regular jacket and having a tailor cut it down.

How about finding a tailor in your neck of the wood and ask him to tailor your a jacket for the wedding. It may be cheaper than buying one from oversea.

It is your daughter's wedding after all and I think you need to explore all options in getting the best looking jacket that you can afford.
