Is a double-breasted linen jacket worth it?

If you want a warm-weather jacket that looks sharper than a blazer, yes. Double-breasted linen is dressier and less common, but it is also less versatile, so it works best as a second or third jacket.

How does slim fit compare to Brooks Brothers' regular fit?

Slim fit is cut closer through the chest and waist with higher armholes. If you wear a 40 regular comfortably in other brands, try this one on or size up if you are between sizes.

Can I wear this to a summer wedding?

Yes. Teal linen suits outdoor and daytime weddings well, especially with light trousers. Pair it with a white or cream shirt and skip a tie in hot weather.

What should I know about the unlined construction?

Unlined jackets are cooler and lighter but show interior seams and have less shape. They also wrinkle more visibly, so hang the jacket after wearing.

How should I care for a linen jacket?

Dry clean sparingly and steam rather than iron to release wrinkles. Store it on a wide hanger so the shoulders keep their shape.

When is the best time to buy?

Linen tailoring is usually discounted at the end of summer, from late August into September. Watch the price history to see whether the current price is near its low.

Our take on the Brooks Brothers Men's Slim Fit Linen Double-Breasted Suit Jacket

A slim-fit, double-breasted sport jacket in 100% linen, cut in a size 40 regular and finished in teal. It is unlined and lightweight, so it is built for warm-weather occasions rather than year-round wear. Double-breasted linen jackets in this cut are a niche item, and Brooks Brothers' full-price equivalents typically run several hundred dollars, so any listing well under that is worth checking against the size and color you need.
