Lightweight casual blazer recommendation
I live in warm climate so I want to get a lightweight casual blazer that I can wear all year round, maybe in linen or cotton linen blend. I also want the blazer to be very casual that I can wear with t-shirt or untucked shirt. Where can I find this type of blazer?

Engineered garments Bedford jacket is an example IMO
I have one in tropical wool
I think the cotton ripstop ones are lightweight in terms of cotton
Spier & Mackay when they release their SS stuff
Just wonder how far can I dress down the tropical wool? I have seen Universal works has a three button jacket in tropical wool too. But wool always seem to be a dressier fabric to me.
oh you said tee or untucked shirt. I'd grab a chore coat in a light fabric
Spier also sells those
I agree that it's generally a dressier fabric but that's just one of many factors in terms of how much a jacket can be dressed down
But yeah there are also Bedfords in other light fabrics

I have that #2 ripstop EG bedford, and I wear it with a tee all the time somewhat frequently. It really makes me want a few more. edit: don't think that's ripstop, but seems pretty close, maybe moleskin. But it's the same idea.
