I think it's worth trying something like a grey roman, personally, but I would also say you'd feel a little differently about the two navy coats if you did up getting two

We aren't - we did the pre-order last year so people could get any size though, and will do so again later this year. I could wear a Medium or a Large depending on style, so worth seeing if the measurements of the Small might…

Good question. Casual is hard in those jackets, I'd say probably a lightweight linen or a cotton. Hopsack is great but might be too smart
