Breathable chore coats for somewhat warmer weather?
what are some good options with lighter materials? I have an ojai in natural cotton from taylor stitch, but it's still probably a bit heavy. Linen might work better, but it would need to retain some structure ideally.
I tried on the one pictured from vuori which is ventilated and made of their technical fabric. It doesn't have the sheen of their workout-focused clothes, but I'm still not sure if it would look out of place next to more rugged or textured pieces. It did somehow make me feel cooler than before I put it on though, which is a plus. Any alternatives that might come close to being this breathable, or any thoughts on this jacket specifically?

Tbh linen seems like the move here, nice linen is a really wonderful fabric that ages great
I’d get one in linen or tropical wool
any you'd recommend in tropical wool? most of what I'm seeing are either sportcoats with lapels or overshirts without the additional pockets
depends how much you want to spend, but usually brands like lemaire, harago, and commas would have jackets like these
