Using our Performance Linen™ fabric, the Malay Jacket combines all the best of natural linen with synthetic fibres for a durable, easycare and cooling smart-casual jacket that’s perfect for your next far-flung adventure.
Read more…Designed for hot-weather travel, the Malay Jacket is the ideal choice for travelling light and unencumbered – and you won’t need to worry about getting the hotel iron out either.
Using a blend of technical fibres with high quality linen gives the Malay Jacket its travel staple status. Unlike normal linen, our Performance Linen™ is very easy to care for. It won’t shrink, fade or lose its shape even after continued wear and washing. It’s also been tested and approved to be crease resistant, so it won’t need ironing – ideal if you’ve stuffed it in your luggage and want to wear it on your first night out.
We’ve kept the Malay Jacket unlined to reduce bulk and weight, and to maximise comfort and breathability. It will feel wonderfully cool. It also gives it a small pack size – perfect if you’re travelling with just your hand luggage.
We’ve updated the collar by giving the Malay Jacket a smart lapel for a classic look which gives it great versatility. It will easily take you from day to night – use it to smarten up jeans and a T or match it with a smarter pair of trousers or over the top of a dress for a great work-to-dinner outfit.
There’s two external patch pockets, with one featuring a discreetly concealed zipped security pocket to keep hotel key card or credit cards safe.

: Performance Linen™ (Reef Orange Stripe: 55% polyester, 45% linen; Riverstone: 55% linen, 45% polyester)
We were the original lightweight revolutionaries. Back in the 1970’s we realised that cutting weight without losing performance meant that you can take less and do more. Everything we make is engineered to achieve this.
Low pack size is a benefit whether you’re packing for a day’s walking or for the trip of a lifetime. We continually scrutinise fabric specification and garment construction to minimise the packed size of our clothing. The actual pack size is tested and listed.
All Rohan clothing is designed to be very fast drying – as much a benefit for unexpected downpours as anything else. It’s easy to wash and often needs no ironing. Almost all garments will dry overnight, meaning you can take less with you. We test every item and list its drying time.
Performance Linen™ is an advanced blend of natural linen and technical synthetics which offers all the benefits of linen – with none of the downsides. Just like natural linen, it’s cool and comfortable in the heat. But it’s also easy to wash, highly resistant to unsightly creasing and far more durable. In fact, it’s perfect for travel.
Losing the odd bit or bob when you’re close to home is rarely an issue, but losing car hire keys, passport, phone or wallet becomes more important than ever in a far off land. That’s why lots of thought goes into safer pockets – deeper, zipped and hidden.
