Opinions: Classic Spring/Summer Coat? Khaki Trenchcoat?

[blazingazn]

What is considered the best, most classic Spring/Summer Coat? I'm probably gonna get a Khaki TrenchCoat mid-thigh length. Would this overall be the best option for Summer? Opinions?

Apart from the trench, these all seem somewhat heavy for anything I'd really consider a summer coat. I personally have a light stone rain mac that is probably closest in description to the khaki trench along with various thin cotton ones not covered here.

Looking here: http://www.indochino.com/category/Outerwear.html Want to pick up this: http://www.indochino.com/product/Khaki_Trench_Coat.html So basically anything cotton, thin and light would be appropriate? Anywhere people would recommend me to purchase a coat? I'm in Vancouver Canada for reference.

Why not for a pea coat if it is made of cotton. It has the shortest length compare to the rest. More suitable for what you want. But you really want to wear any of this in Summer?

None of these. Try a sport coat-cotton for summer and tweed for spring. A cardigan works well, as does a lighter car coat.

At which point it stops being classic.

I wouldn't pick any of these for the summer.

Unless you're just worried about rain ?

I have a gift certificate from indochino through a friend.
Out of all the coats their in any case this is the most spring/summer?

What coats, anywhere, would be consider spring / summer?

Thanks all.
