I think this can also just be an issue with a linen suit, as things wrinkle and crease they ride up a little. Which can leave things looking short.
I think the jacket length is the biggest issue for me but it could just be the stance. In general finishing halfway between the bottom of collar and floor, this looks a little shorter than that

I think the trousers, shirt and tie looks great though

There are a few on Cos and Arket at the moment as well, worth a look.

I bought a Next Linen Blend suit recently. It was the cheapest I could find at about £130. I’ve got a very awkward body shape, but I have to say it fits well. Sleeves are nearly always too short but this one was perfect.

The delivery was astonishing. Ordered Saturday night, delivered Sunday morning.

Thanks.

I was more thinking of my standard work navy blue or grey chinos plus normal shirt with the navy blue linen jacket. No hat.

Not really going for the lfgss loafer louche look.

Just after a summer work blazer.

Is there such thing as a summer tweed blazer.

I love tweed but it ain’t half hot

Madras.

I’m not hungry

Look for linen tweed

OK cool.

I need something smart-ish but not stuffy or too formal but definitely a suit jacket, with minimal structure

A gun club check?
Navy blue seersucker?
A navy hopsack?

What about an unstructured jacket?

That’s the badger!

But something fun with a check. Also I’m always boiling

Suit suply have some options.

Eg

^ second is prob too thick material, but I had to post as it triggered such an early memory and looks cool af.

Good deals on champion reverse weave at House of Fraser. https://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/brand/champion/reverse-weave-hooded-sweatshirt-mens-530470?cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=17415091332&cq_term=&cq_plac=&cq_net=g&cq_plt=gp&cq_con=144203706384&cq_med=pla&cq_pos=&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2Nrt__TfhgMVE5hQBh2GSg7nEAQYASABEgI9pfD_BwE#colcode=53047002

I’ve fallen very deep down the tweed jacket rabbit hole

Sadly not, wrong season for my wife’s department. Some crackers in that article though.

As a dullard who wears a uniform of navy sweatshirt, jeans and a white t shirt every single day I love Pitti style.

Pitti is life.

If I didn’t solely wear short running shorts anyway.

Anyone got any recommendations for nice brands that do trousers in a longer leg. At least 34, perhaps even 36?

Not all plain sailing at Pitti..
