Was at the Polo Ralph Lauren outlet today and saw a nice looking double breasted pintstripe suit. However, it was 52% LINEN and 48% WOOL. When would you wear this--I guess summer but why the half and half, linen wool--it just seems odd combination...
It is actually a very practical combination because it minimizes the wrinkles you get from 100% linen but it is cooler that 100% wool. So, Ideal for warm climates especially with high humidity.

I have several Polo jackets with this mix. In New Orleans, this is a year round material.
Summer definitely. It looks more like a blazer than a suit.
