Interesting, I find OCBD's to wear quite warm for me except for winter. Granted, I don't wear loose shirts.I've never had a problem wearing tweed indoors but ymmv. I wear heavy tweed jackets over Shetland sweaters with heavy flannel trousers and am fine. If you're moving about a lot, that might be different. Several tips:
1) If you wear a jacket open, it should never get too hot (unless you have a sweater on too). That front ventilation is key. Try wearing an overcoat open inside while sitting down. Even that isn't nearly as warm as you might expect.
2) I think shirt choice also matters. I always wear an OCBD and I think oxford cloth is more breathable than most think (I prefer an oxford to many lighter options in 90+ degree weather). Perhaps more important is looseness. Clothes that are too tight run much warmer in my experience. This matters a lot for clothing that touches the skin.
3) I think the body is good at adjusting. When I started doing heavy layering, I may have found it a bit warm at first, but eventually I got used to it.
I'll keep all this in mind though, especially keeping the jacket open. Thanks for enabling!
