I am looking to buy a more casual Blazer for spring/summer. Honestly, I need a decent amount of help picking one out. I am looking to spend between $750-$1500 for one. I am unsure of the type of fabric to go with and if it should be canvased or unconstructed. I am currently looking at some linen blend options on suitsupply .com but if anyone has any other recommendations it would be very helpful.

Can't go wrong with a navy hopsack, could also consider a wool-silk-linen blend or straight linen.

Personally, I would always opt for canvased unless its a chore coat or something along those lines
