Yes, this blue blazer by Drake’s may have “travel” in the title, but that doesn’t mean that the English maker has cut any corners. The jacket is made in the house style with a natural shoulder and a soft, lightweight construction with full canvassing, and benefits from handwork at the chest, sleeves, and shoulders. What makes it adept at on-the-run wear is the choice of fabric, an 8.2 oz high-twist hopsack wool whose natural springiness and open weave will resist wrinkles and allow for better airflow.

Named “Demob” in homage to the hard-wearing, simply designed jackets that were distributed to British soldiers following the end of WWII, this Private White V.C. blazer is made in the U.K. from merino wool-flannel. Left unlined with copper-bound seams for greater durability and bellows pockets for maximum storage, this is one jacket that can take a beating and look better for it.

Connolly’s travel jacket—which can be paired with matching trousers to be worn as a full suit—is tailored from a blend of Italian virgin wool and cashmere with a hint of stretch to accommodate that last-minute sprint to the gate. Three patch pockets provide plenty of space for stuffing boarding passes and passports.

Unstructured and half-lined, Luca Faloni’s travel jacket is like a traditional blue blazer minus the stuffing. Tailored from a pure Italian wool weighted at just over 6 oz. with natural wrinkle-resistance, it’s a reminder that the best performance fabrics are natural.

A hopsack fabric made from a blend of breathable wool and crisp mohair is the secret sauce of Cad & The Dandy’s travel jacket, which will resist wrinkles and creases better when slung over the shoulder or stored in the overhead. Featuring a soft shoulder, a nipped waist and a single-button closure, it’s an excellent advertisement for the Savile Row tailor’s house style.

A De Bonne Facture favorite season after season, its traveler jacket is made from a hearty cotton-twill and leans closer to a chore coat with a cropped length, boxier cut, and unvented back. However, it still signals “blazer” thanks to its triple patch pockets and notched lapel, allowing it to upgrade a single oxford-and-jeans look into something more presentable.

Rivay’s bread and butter is making more rugged, casual takes on classic tailoring that are no less wearable. Exhibit 1 is its Italian Tour sport coat, which is tailored in Naples from a wool-cotton knit piqué that’s as breathable as a favorite polo shirt. The fabric’s structure adds a bit of heft to the otherwise sweater-like sport coat, which has been left unstructured, unlined, and unpadded for maximum comfort and softness.
