Linen/Linen Blend Overshirt Recommendations

Hey all.

I'm after a linen overshirt/light jacket that I can wear on warmer days - my cotton ones are a bit too 'heavy' for that situation.

Any recommendations? Happy to spend up to approx £200. Limiting factor may be that I'm typically an XS.

I've seen two that I like at different ends of the price spectrum:

Uniqlo Linen Blend Relaxed Overshirt

(I'm a big fan of their linen blend trousers, so I'm assuming that this may be similar. This is a cotton/linen blend though, rather than pure linen.)

Portuguese Flannel Labura Linen Jacket

(I fit their stuff really well, so I'm tempted. Not too sure why MrPorter have this listed as 'Slim Fit' when I can't see that label attached on any other listings of the same item elsewhere - so I'm ignoring that tbh)

Any other recommendations/thoughts?
Soft, cool, and comfy. Roomy cut for easy layering.- Combines the softness of cotton and the cool feel of linen. - Overshirt in a relaxed cut. - A handy throw-on layer featuring a chest pocket and two subtle pockets at the waist. - Unisex design.- The images shown may include colors that are not available.
