Description
Unlined and unstructured, so it weighs about 380 grams and packs down to nothing. Every internal seam is taped in a fine cotton so the inside is as finished as the outside — there is nothing to fray and nothing to show through the linen.
Cut boxy and slightly cropped, meant to be worn open over a dress or a slip. In an Australian summer this is the jacket that makes an outfit acceptable in an air conditioned office and bearable on the walk there.

The taped seams inside are lovely. It looks good with the sleeves pushed up.

Weighs nothing. I keep it in my bag from November to March.
