Dear LL members, I am thinking of having a Norfolk jacket made up for me. What cloth/weight would you recommend? I really like the kind of rugged, casual, soft look of the Norfolk jacket that the main character is wearing in the beginning of the Boardwalk Empires TV-series.

I can't imagine a Norfolk jacket in anything other than a 16-21oz tweed.

I tend to think of a Norfolk jacket as a cross between a jacket and a coat so, yes, a heavyweight material. However, recently I was considering a linen jacket and I was struck by the similarity of style between a Norfolk jacket and a safari jacket. I prefer the Norfolk pocket arrangement, would it work in linen for the summer? Or am I crossing boundaries?
