Summers best jacket was inspired by colonial military tailoring in the 1930's.
The safari jacket has all the pockets a man needs for travel, can be dressed up or down, and takes abuse better than a regular odd jacket.
To complete the look it needs only a polo or a tee shirt under it, a pair of trousers, and summer shoes that can range from espadrilles to spectators.
The classic safari jacket is made from tan cotton drill, gabardine, linen or fresco and, if your closet can accommodate two, you should pick one from column a (drill and gabardine) and one from column b (linen and fresco). Whatever the material, a safari should have a yoke back and front, epaulettes, a belt, four gusseted pockets with flaps and buttons and cuffed long sleeves that can be rolled up above the elbow and buttoned to stay there.
