Double-stitching + Fresco = Disaster?

I am going to have a travel blazer run up. It will be worn mostly indoors but, occasionally, at outdoor events mostly in summer. So the criteria are, 1)Navy, 2) Extremely wrinkle resistant 3) cool-wearing, in that order, though all are pretty important.

After some research, I had in mind one of the Crispaire wool/mohair blends. But after reading this thread, I don't know what to think.

Please advise! And if you happen to recall specific fabric numbers, all the better.

I've heard that Zegna's 'The Wave' is very wrinkle-resistant, but I have no experience with it. My own new summer blazer is in kind of fresco by Barberis Canonico (double stitching looked fine in forward fitting, btw) which seems fairly wrinkle resistant, but I haven't really tested it yet as I'll take delivery of the coat next month. I would not recommend the Zegna Trofeo stuff -- nice to the touch and makes up well for being so light, but very wrinkly.

The A&S guys think very highly of this.
