Your thoughts on linen?

[Hipbilly]

As spring is springing in central Arkansas, the temps are hitting 80° and soon to be higher. I know it's been discussed many times that weather sometimes takes precedent over etiquette, but I wonder what yall think of mixing linen, a decidedly southern/tropical fabric, with the highland-rated wool kilt.
Exibit A: a linen shirt (sleeves rolled and buttoned up), and a cotton/linen waistcoat (vest?).

My first thought was "I like it, what else matters?"
Second thought: "this is as bad as seersucker pants with a tweed jacket......"
Third thought: "I still like it".
