What should be my third – and probably last – summer-weight jacket? I’m looking for something classic and versatile.

A bit of a hijack, but are the ones you have MTM? I think I recall you mentioning that somewhere

I'm in for the PoW pattern in a fairly large scale. It can work with several trouser colors.
Nothing quite identifies a jacket as Summer as does a strong plaid madras.

Funny thing about cotton jackets, they LOOK a lot more summery than they feel. I do like mine, yes, but I'm not eager for another.

No, the ones pictured in the OP are not MTM; they're Brook Brothers. Now that you mention it, though, my new MTM sport coat is only partially lined and is certainly comfortable in warm temps. It's just that the colors are rather autumnal.

Very nice pattern indeed, is this jacket also from Brooks Brothers?

No. The jacket above was made for me by a gentleman named Anthony Paranzino, a.k.a. Tony the Tailor: http://www.bestmastertailor.com/
