For jackets that are perfect for spring and early summer, the material is key!

In business settings, the key to comfortably surviving Japan's hot and humid summers lies in the "use of materials."

ISETAN MEN'S recommends linen and knitwear this summer. While cotton jackets are a classic choice for spring and summer, linen is recommended if you want a more mature and relaxed look. Not only does it look light and cool, but its moderate wrinkles and texture make it ideal for the hot and humid city. Furthermore, if you want to add a touch of cleanliness and richness, a versatile knit jacket that can be worn both on and off duty is an absolute must-have.

This time, we've selected jackets from 10 brands using these two main materials. We'll take a closer look at the appeal of linen, which has an excellent refreshing look, and knitwear, which is essential for elegant styling, by material.

I. Linen jackets that elegantly elevate a man's style.

Lightweight, highly breathable, and with a smooth feel, linen is perfect for summer. Yet, its elegant silhouette makes it a reliable choice for creating a polished look during the warmer months. This season, we especially recommend the check patterns from renowned Italian brands. Wearing one will instantly elevate your style, creating a striking and sophisticated look.
