I just attended a formal event and there are suddenly a lot more white/off-white/ivory DJ being worn up here in the high country. I feel left out.
I'd assume SBPL one button with besom pockets is still a given, but how heavy a fabric and in what color? Given a couple of hours outside before sunset and summer temperatures is this one time a blend might be a blessing?

... wool tropical always comes out ahead of the others. i think it comes as light as 8 oz and goes up from there.
it breaths well and thats what keeps you cool.

Can you be more specific?

Can you recommend a good 8-9 oz. off-white tropical for summer DJ? What would wear best in the heat - meaning which fabric will hold it's drape and be sturdy enough over the years? Long term value. Drapers? H&S? Is there a Lesser you like?

PM if you prefer.
