Is polyester lining in a linen coat/blazer something to strongly avoid?
I recently got the Everlane linen blazer (linked below). The current piece is a bit too big, so I am considering exchanging for a smaller size or returning. One thing I didn't realize was that the arm linings are polyester.
I don't have any experience with linen (and minimal with blazers in a summer setting), so I wanted to ask if something like this is considered a big detriment to the breathability/selling point of linen? Thanks for any input.

While polyester in general isnt the greatest, arm linings are somewhat okay, because the main breathability action takes place around the torso and not the arms.
I’d avoid everlane for other reasons tho
With few exceptions everything I ever got from them fell apart or wore terribly within a year
True. For that price point its propably not very good and you can get a much better suit for that money from ebay if you know what you are doing.
This is what I was somewhat assuming to be the clase, thanks for the input
I unfortunately do not super know what im doing when it comes to ebay/second hand suit shopping (that probably applies to first hand too lol). Do you think this is the case for linen coats as well?
Apologies for pinging an old thread (please let me know if I should avoid that), but would something like this be a better alternative? https://www.ebay.com/itm/135081709873?itmmeta=01HZG5PN5KB32CAAQYX4H6KWYV&hash=item1f737f5131%3Ag%3A6VcAAOSw%7EPtmMm0s&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4MfDhlbSUDV6McFiL2N6tOW%2ByUVGUPOleBM35IDU8rzCZ0G8KUqyYqkHdz1qZAEIc5wAqd5ZyE%2F7IdcvoJfO17BMk%2B0BwSKRG%2F6d0sBTt%2FeOOOQRsMNC584s06231HCBO19ill2lg4M5m0deaf62iAIC%2FwrksQKKWq9sanVLRi01RLspW9EBXte%2BDBGBJ7GM2WG10vVt1zuQxv4AcnvQ6c9RASg4fS7I0GLbgx4KxBLLB2SyWw3OGKLd7fW0wtolIJHXpfU2oIq5EWa%2Fr0hpluomTZus70lX1qhb2uNeofPY%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR_DS2oX8Yw&LH_ItemCondition=4
