cotton is still breathable, only if you are not buying some cheap synthetic canvas and lining, of course, it will fry you, and the light colors of course
Boy I sure would love to buy some nice granddad collar linen shirts, if only any online retailer in existence sold quality 100% pure linen garments (or at least ones that weren’t so expensive) and not cotton blended doodoo rags. t. poorfag
its a combo fo the best parts of linen and cotton and good in the heat, idgaf if its used 90% in womens shit who the heck is even gonna know what the fabric is besides me? plus it was on sale buy 1 get 3 and im cheap

It’s not. It doesn’t breathe as well as cotton or linen. It harms the environment. It’s cheap. If you’re going to spend your time making a shirt, why use a shit fabric?
in a hot humid climate wear as little clothing as possible. In a hot arid climate wear lightweight full coverage. If you are a bong or yuro stfu and drink more water.
It was 100f and muggy the other day and I still wore a wool suit and tie. My car has AC and my work has AC. When I go out for lunch I’m not outside long enough to really be bothered by it and I change when I get home anyway.
It was OTR for $400. I’d be lying if I pretended the ticket pocket was a choice and not simply how it came. I like the asymmetry of it though and I found it to fit well with the heavily structured design of the jacket. I wish It had surgeon’s cuffs to complete the look. Had the pants done with a 2" turn-up.
Honestly, you did great for $400. I would have picked it up myself if I was in your shoes and it fit that well. I find Non-function cuffs buttons better on OTR jackets since you’re not stuck with the sleeve length. A visit to your tailor and you can make the buttons function for a small fee.
Thanks. It was my first try with spier and mackay and I had no idea what to expect in terms of fit or quality and I was so pleasantly surprised I bought another suit from them basically right away which also ended up being surprisingly nice and well fitting. Both half canvas of course but a phenomenal value.

I was thinking about getting a Spier and Mackay suit. Yours look like it came out well. Why not spend extra to go full-canvassed? What kind of lining option did you get? Did everything fit well on arrival?

I ordered their pre-made OTR suits. You only really specify chest, hem and fit and they give you a 6 drop suit with extra fabric for alterations. I didn’t have either altered at all except for finishing the raw hem. I’m 6’0 145lbs and ordered a 38 chest and had them hem to 32 length. These are my normal sizes. Pictured was a contemporary fit but the pants came out a bit baggy so I went with slim on the subsequent and it fits very well. I’ll have the pants altered later.
Pic related, you can look up the exact details
I went half-canvas because they were cheap and I was unsure if I’d be happy with the brand. In the future I’m confident that after trying both fits and two styles that I’ll order full canvas.

You know you can get those cuffs made functional at almost any tailor right?
Yeah, I just haven’t had time to get it altered and haven’t wanted to take it out of my rotation. Still new to suiting and only have four.

Traditionally, in the old American South, seersucker was the choice for summer suits.
Linen and silk also perform well in tropical climates.
You do NOT want tight, skinny fit fashion when you’re sweating your balls off. You want full cut, billowy shapes for air circulation. There’s a reason Hawaiian shirts are designed the way they are. Light weight fabrics that breath and are loosely cut.
Personally, I never wear any suit in the summer (I’m in the Deep South) just business casual.
Footwear is the most important element to staying cool in the heat. Keep it as minimal as possible, sandals, birkenstocks, loafers at the very most. Mules or other backless loafers, huaraches, sabahs, etc. No socks.
Good advice. You want no-show socks if you’re wearing loafers, though. Stops the inevitable sweat soaking into your (hopefully high-quality) footwear.
Personally at 35C I just accept my fate and wear open footwear.
Am I the only one that thinks this whole sockless(noshow) loafer and cropped pants style looks extremely effeminate and gay? You can legitimately mistake a mans legs for a womans because they wear exactly the same thing.
It’s so gay, I never had an issue with footwear in hot climate and it gets very hot here. Just wear fil d’Ecosse socks and you won’t even feel you are wearing them.
yeah I have no examples as of yet kek, but it’s what I wore recently while traveling in 32-37 degrees heat under direct sun, and I felt and looked fine.
I am fairly sure it would look good with a hat too, if you had the face and/or hair for it, I just didn’t find any nice hats when I went looking for them.
I’m from Texas and the first time I got skin cancer I was 15 years old. I’ve gotten a new spot of melanoma cut off every year or two ever since. I don’t wear shorts and jeans are something that everyone wears down here. I can’t speak for coastal types or yankees, but based on what I have seen thus far all of you look and speak like gays.
My mom has been dealing with skin cancer since around the same age, so I’ve tried to cover up more skin and use sunscreen daily. It sucks in Arizona, but cancer sucks more.
As long as you get them cut off, it’s not so bad. One time I had a former navy corpsman cut one off and he just took a big ass chunk out of my ribs. I tell people I got shot with a .22
So if everyone down there eats out their cow’s ass you’ll do it too?
Yeah. A little later we’re all gonna jump off a bridge. You should come with and don’t tell anyone where you’re going.

I’d rather not have a melanoma show up somewhere I can’t see and spread. Scarring from removal would probably suck too.

Only if you’re a girl. I had one cut off my face and it left a little divot in my beard, nobody cares. I have a lot of scars and am a bit taller than average, though. And I’m not bald. I guess it depends on a lot of factors when it comes to scars.

I had an NCO that had one in the middle of his nose. His scar didn’t seem to matter or bother him much, and he still seemed as confident as ever, but I think I’ll avoid it if I can. It’s not like a little sunscreen hurts.

This is true. That’s why I wear jeans (and I also wear other types of pants, you yankee gay) and long sleeves in 105 degrees. I do have to roll my sleeves up sometimes, though, or I will die. I also wear ball caps when I always hated them throughout my childhood. Once you get into the habit of doing something, it’s easy to maintain it. No sense not wearing sunscreen if it’s already a habit.

Be an Arab
I love Jesus
B&R
where the heck does one find robes like the shit arabs and bedouins wear
Take a plane to the gulf state of your choice. They sell them everywhere.
a lot of linen. if you’re concerned about wrinkles, then you’ve filtered yourself – stick with shorts and flip-flops in that case.
LINEN! Um, did you know that LINEN is more breathable than cotton? ITS SUMMER BUY LINEN!
cotton is still breathable, only if you are not buying some cheap synthetic canvas and lining, of course, it will fry you, and the light colors of course
I was being sarcastic sorry
This. Linen is great casual wear and it’s better to not expose your skin to the scorching sun. Cover yourself, use the chimney effect.
I own a lot of linen shirts but sometimes it’s too hot for long pants
I want to dress like this but I fear of looking like a boomer lmao
I guess he pulls it off by being relatively fit
This, get fit and wear linen. No need for sweat running down your jelly rolls.
Boy I sure would love to buy some nice granddad collar linen shirts, if only any online retailer in existence sold quality 100% pure linen garments (or at least ones that weren’t so expensive) and not cotton blended doodoo rags. t. poorfag
make your own
This. Go to community college and make your own shit.
Go on eBay and buy them used for dirt cheap. Most resellers just want to get rid of stale inventory so they will often be happy to take offers as well
Is $39 a shirt expensive?
depends on your income
kino advice, i made a shirt out of rayon for the summer and it is hecking great to wear
>rayon
its a combo fo the best parts of linen and cotton and good in the heat, idgaf if its used 90% in womens shit who the heck is even gonna know what the fabric is besides me? plus it was on sale buy 1 get 3 and im cheap

>literacy
stop pretending to be stupid
in a hot humid climate wear as little clothing as possible. In a hot arid climate wear lightweight full coverage. If you are a bong or yuro stfu and drink more water.
It’s 45c 80% humidity and 0 wind right now. I’m going to die.
Where in the heck?

please tell me you have put a flower on that thing
I normally wear an enamel pin. I want to play around with boutonnieres though.
Now I’m hungry.
hey its Report of the Week!!
His suit is 4 sizes too small for that to be the case.
Mesh
He looks like he stinks
why isn’t the underwear mesh?
It is, he’s just half black.
>yes I have monkeypox, how could you tell?

It would be awful if you accidentally slipped and fell on a man’s cock
It’s so gay, I never had an issue with footwear in hot climate and it gets very hot here. Just wear fil d’Ecosse socks and you won’t even feel you are wearing them.
Son of a Scotsman socks?
Is that like Chinese food?
it’s a french term that means Scots thread, it’s used to make fine cotton socks
Yes, it’s both of this things, which is why I don’t wear it. However, this is /fashion/: we’re all gay here.
unbuttoned polo shirt or shortsleeved shirt, tucked into shortish shorts (with some thin belt).
Pic rel looks like he’s wearing a synthetic fiber though. Synthetics don’t breath well and trap heat.
yeah I have no examples as of yet kek, but it’s what I wore recently while traveling in 32-37 degrees heat under direct sun, and I felt and looked fine.
I am fairly sure it would look good with a hat too, if you had the face and/or hair for it, I just didn’t find any nice hats when I went looking for them.
They’re called onion skin shorts and they breathe just fine.
Anything with that little fabric is going to breath fine.
what the heck is going on with his left knee?
It gets up to 105 in freedom units (40 in communist units), but I tend to wear nice jeans and a linen or silk shirt.
>wearing jeans in the summer
>wearing jeans ever
Is it 1995??
burgers have no sense of style
I’m a burger, you insect
You probably dress like shit too then

I’m eating cow cake regardless.
Shorts and button down shirts
Nix the shorts, wear loose fitting linen trousers instead
what’s the most comfortable (or just least uncomfortable) fabric to wear when you’re sweating bullets?
polyester
Polyester traps heat
You dun got trolled son.
polyester tearaway pants always smell like stinky bum
cotton or linen
but if you know that the weather will turn cool then polyester is a good option because it can cool as well as warm
