Don't forget that the Argyll jacket was "invented" by the Scots for the cold damp Scottish weather and with the type of cloth that was readily available to them,tweed.Heat was,is, rarely a consideration.

You chaps in the heat and humidity of "warmer climes" are very sensibly adapting your dress accordingly, to be more comfortable,whilst trying to stick to a theme.Any Scot from the past would have tried(not the same as succeeded!)to do the same in the circumstances.Go for it.
