This men's seersucker blazer is cut in a fine striped cotton with the puckered texture that gives seersucker its name, holding the fabric slightly off the skin so it stays cool through the warmest days. Notch lapels roll open to a single breasted two button front, and three patch pockets sit unlined on the body — one at the chest and two at the hip. The shoulders are unstructured with no padding, the sleeves finish in four working-style buttons, and the whole jacket has a soft, relaxed drape rather than a tailored line.

It's the summer jacket that dresses an outfit up without adding heat. Wear it over a white shirt with linen trousers for weddings and garden parties, or with chinos and a plain tee for something easier. The pale blue and white stripe reads lighter than a solid blazer and works alongside white, stone, navy and denim. Loafers or suede boots both sit well underneath.
