My vote is for a ventless jakcet. It gives such a slick look but beware of cheap suits with ventless jackets from second hands. It needs to be tailored to have a right effect.

FM you seem to be quite the arrogant guy, what with your facepalms and sarcasm. Now i would not presume to fight another guys battles for him, but I personally think that the guy is entitled to his opinion of non vented jackets as much as you are entitled to your opinion of them.
Well I guess its not 100% of the time, but I have never seen a good or even decent ventless jacket, let alone a DB ventless jacket. Most are fused and are just branded to sell.
Send me a pic of yours maybe I'll change my mind
As a representative of the "never, ever, no-way ventless" crowd, but as someone who hears those who say "it can be done, but only if it's done right" - I issue a challenge: please post some real-world pics of a good looking ventless suit.
I look forward to being swayed, or at least having my contempt of them successfully challenged
As someone who doesn't have a vendetta against ventless jackets, I couldn't possibly care less whether you in particular like then or not. I am not a ventless jacket evangelist. My only point is that they are fully within the canon of classic menswear. Like bowties or Dbs, their popularity waxes and wanes like anything, but they have been worn for more than a hundred years, and are included as a classic style among the well known menswear writers that I am aware of. You don't need to worry about a jacket being "out of style" because it is ventless.
You mean a recent ventless suit? Because if its just from whenever then alot of the old movies have them. North by Northwest comes to mind.
