In the heat and humidity of Jacksonville and Pensacola, the classic tailored blazer can feel like overkill. That's why more style-conscious professionals in Florida are turning to breathable, unstructured custom jackets — a hybrid between a sweater and a blazer — often referred to as a "swacket."
A swacket combines the polish of a sport coat with the comfort of a cardigan. Our clients love them for summer events, business casual offices, or weekend dinners where style matters, but comfort can’t be compromised. These jackets are typically made with mesh, stretch cotton, or silk-wool blends and feature minimal structure — no lining, no shoulder pads, just a clean, relaxed silhouette that breathes.
At Myra Tailors, we only recommend shoulder padding when the client needs it. If your shoulders are naturally sloped, slight padding can square the frame and create a stronger profile. But if your shoulders are already broad or you're aiming for a casual look, going unpadded keeps the jacket fluid and modern — ideal for Florida's coastal vibe.
Whether you're presenting at work, attending a summer wedding, or heading out for cocktails, a breathable unstructured jacket gives you the polished edge without the bulk. In a city like Jacksonville where business and beach life meet, and in Pensacola where tradition and coastal style collide, this jacket is your go-to for effortless sophistication.
