As someone considering having St. Kilda make me a jacket, I'm curious about how the tweed does in California weather?

I now have four tweed jackets, and they're all heavy for our climate. I'm guessing they're 16 ounce or more.
That's the thing about my black Argyll, it's quite light, I'm guessing 11 ounce Barathea? 13 ounce at most, making it comfortably wearable when the tweeds are not.
Today I piped at a Memorial Mass. I'm rarely able to get a photo of myself in Highland attire; when I'm piping at funerals and weddings it's inappropriate. However today I buttonholed a caterer for a pic.
In my vow to avoid my Black Argyll whenever possible I wore my new (ex-hire) Geoffrey (Tailor) Edinburgh jacket & waistcoat

Finally some photos actually wearing the St Kilda "multicheck" Argyll.
I love how the jacket looks with the Hunting Stewart Weathered tweed.

Thanks!
I've been hankering for a check tweed Argyll for ages. Vintage ones in my size never come up for sale, so I finally got a new one.
Interesting that I ended up with Marton Mills tweed both for my kilt and my jacket. That wasn't the original plan, it just so happened that my favourite Stewart fabric and the only check tweed available from St Kilda were both by MM.
