We're big fans of the lightweight, unstructured sport coat here at Valet. It's a wardrobe workhorse that allows you to feel cool and comfortable while looking at once put together and relaxed. The soft-shouldered jackets were developed decades ago in Italy by some clever Neapolitan tailors, which explains why some of the best versions of today are still made by the likes of LBM 1911 and Boglioli. But our favorite this spring range from lightweight cotton and linen styles to quilted and weather-resistant quick-dry versions.

Trivia
No matter how many buttons your jacket has, you should never button the last button. Unless, of course, you have a one-button jacket. Then feel free.
