Dress Jacket
If you think you may need a dress jacket on your travels or simply want a nice comfortable jacket to wear around, consider a packable wrinkle resistant jacket similar to the one shown below.  These jackets are lightweight and can be compressed and packed into one of the jacket pockets.  Not only for travel, these jackets can be worn to work or an evening out in your home environment.

On a trip to Budapest Hungary, we had a meal at a nicer restaurant requiring men wear a dress jacket.  I did not have a jacket with me at the time so restaurant provided one for 1200 Hungarian Forints (approximately $5.00)

Restaurant - Budapest, Hungary
