Unconstructed Summer blazer fabric ?

[undertherazor]

I am interested in an unconstructed Summer navy Blazer jacket for hot weather (vacation in Greece, Turkey, South Italy, etc).

should I opt for
Cool Wool / wool
mix of wool / linen
mix of cotton / linen

What do you Gents suggest and have any experience with these fabrics in hot summer weather ?

I would say a linen or linen cotton mix would be suitable for a summer trip to Greece and Turkey, I think anything else would be too warm.

I say opt out.
i don’t know anyone that wears a jacket in the Evening in these hot countries.

Traditionally linen is used.

The Sunday evening stroll in many countries sees lots of people dressed to the nines - including jackets.

I have seen cotton blazers, probably from John Henric. But there are other places.
