Summer Jacket Intel
We're big fans of the 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. And the gents at Esquire feel the same way. From top to bottom, they outline everything you need to know to ensure your lightweight, unlined jacket fits perfectly (and feels great in warm weather).

"Fit is even more important here, where extra fabric in the shoulder will bag out due to lack of padding. As with all jackets, the fit of the shoulder is crucial, because it's difficult and complicated to alter. Too baggy or too tight, leave it on the rack."
