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?

Thanks all - will have a look through these.
I'm getting tempted to give the 'qlo one a try because it's cheaper and I'm confident I'll like the material, but these all look solid too.
Ended up opting for the Portuguese Flannel - thanks to the brand thread on here I saw that it was 30%* off on their own website, and I couldn't resist that...
(*Which also conveniently dropped it to just £1 below the point at which customs charges kick in.... 🙌 )
Thanks again for the recs here - will keep these in mind for future.
