The Best Lightweight Tailored Jacket - Classic Tweed Look Without the Warmth

When you live in a warm climate, classic menswear staples like cashmere, tweed, and flannel can feel out of reach. For clients like Mike Banks, who value timeless style but deal with extreme temperatures, heavier fabrics just don’t make the cut.

Enter our Summer Herringbone Jacket: a lightweight, breathable alternative to tweed with all its character intact. Crafted from a blend of tropical wool and silk, this jacket is a warm-weather solution designed to capture the essence and versatility of classic tweed without the weight or heat.

Made from tropical wool and silk, this summer herringbone fabric combines the structure and durability of wool with the lightness and slubby texture of silk, mimicking traditional tweed—but with a comfortable, airy feel.

The result? A jacket that works as perfectly for the blazing sun of Phoenix, Arizona, as it does for cooler spring nights.

• Breathable Wool-Silk Blend: This 290-300g fabric is substantial enough to hold its shape yet breathable enough to keep you cool.
• Versatile Texture: The subtle slubbiness from the silk adds depth and character, creating a fabric that transitions seamlessly from day to night.
• Italian Craftsmanship: Made in Italy by Reda, a mill renowned for its innovation and lasting quality.

This brown herringbone jacket is a timeless, versatile design that can be easily dressed up or down. With its understated herringbone pattern, this classic single-breasted blazer pairs effortlessly with everything from tailored trousers to relaxed chinos.

Wear it with a button-up and tie for work or special events, or take a more laid-back approach with a sweater or polo and jeans.

Available in both made-to-measure and bespoke, the jacket offers a range of customization options to ensure it's your new favorite jacket. Choose from half-canvas (made-to-measure) or full-canvas (bespoke) construction, with features like hand-finished top stitching, unpadded natural shoulders, and genuine horn buttons.

• Natural Shoulders: Keeps it light and comfortable, and easy to wear casually
• Full Customization: Customize everything from the lapels to the pockets for a truly personal garment.
• Luxury Details: With genuine horn buttons and hand-stitched finishes, this jacket is crafted to last.

For men like Mike, who live in warmer climates but still love the richness of traditional menswear, finding versatile, stylish outerwear can be challenging.

 Our Summer Herringbone Jacket fits right into his capsule wardrobe, bringing the texture of tweed while staying breathable and light enough for the Arizona heat. Whether he’s dressing for an outdoor event or elevating a casual evening look, the Summer Herringbone is a go-to.

Take it from this 5 star reviewer on TrustPilot who says his silk tweed is “by far the suit that continues to garner the most compliments over and over and over!”

And this client who continues to say to himself “this is the best thing in my closet” with every new AOS purchase.
