A new season of Howard Yount jackets is here, and this latest of designer Jamison Stoltz' all-too-limited runs includes some real gems. The strength of the collection this time around is in the tropic-weight wool sport coats, which are about as minimally constructed as they could be while still retaining their shape. The lightweight wools, which include some rich and beautiful Zegna fabrics, offer the warm-weather comfort of linen blends but with a softer, crease-free drape. Highlights include a beautiful green windowpane that all but disappeared seemingly within hours, a light neutral plaid, and a cashmere/silk fully-canvased jacket in a lustrous deep royal blue herringbone that is what those in the menswear industry like to call (to use a strictly technical term) "baller as f**k".
