These Drake’s 100% silk tussah blazers—in brown and in navy—look great. Silk is kind of a hard sell for some people because it can stain when it gets wet, it can wear a little warm and can have a sheen. But two of my summer sport coats are 100% silk and they’re going strong 5 years on, stain-free. Mine don’t have a sheen any more than some typical hopsack blazers, and these don’t appear to either. As for wearing warm, only on the hottest days is that a problem, when it would be uncomfortable to wear a jacket anyway.
