As a lifelong Floridian who wears a suit to work everyday, a linen suit with no liner is a must. It can be worn pretty much year round down here. It is a fashion faux pas to wear a wool (or synthetic) suit and sweat your balls off. I started with a navy suit that is very versatile and can be dressed up and down depending on the situation. I have since bought a black (yes, linen can be dyed almost any color), camel. and grey linen suit. A full canvas construction with no liner is the way to go if you are living in a tropical environment. It pains me to see northerners move down here and not realize they need to dress for the 90+ degree, 100% humidity or just go casual when it is not really appropriate.

My bro went to NC state, for thermodynamics. I was visiting his scholarship program and everybody thought I was the keynote speaker just cuz I was in a suit. This is Parks Scholars, and professors. None knew how to dress for the heat. And honestly I didn't either, I was just lucky me and my girlfriend could tell "by the feel and look". A little education goes a long way. Even for brainiacs.

Great tips on the linens. I live on the east coast and definitely wear a lot of linen. Definitely a great notation about the expansion of the cloth as well. I would note that linen can be smooth depending on the weave, and like most fabrics depending on the weight can become much more breathable. I also agree that it creates a casually elegant vibe although and of my dress or formal pieces have been silk linen blends which have added some formality to the look. Great video.

While linen is indeed a great option for summer, it's not necessarily going to keep you cool just because it's linen. Breathability is determined by the openness of the weave first, the fabric-type second. If a linen suit has a tight weave, you're still going to be hot. Conversely, a half or quarter lined suit in summer-weight wool with an open weave will keep you much cooler. Linen is supposed to drape - it's not supposed to be form fitting. You guys look like you're wearing linen wetsuits.

Sarhan A I definitely agree with you guys, what most people don’t realise is that there’s a fine line between, form-fitting and TIGHT. Wait suppression is fine, but when your vents on the back are flaring out because your coat seat (the area that’s supposed to cover your ass) is TOO damn tight; you might want to let it out just a smidge. Hahaha

You forgot something... When buying a linen suit, either 100% or a blend, don’t get the ones with a polyester lining because it defeats the purpose. I like the kind with a thin cotton lining. I noticed that the suits you were wearing had peaked wide lapels with nicely rolled folds so they are probably full canvas. Wrinkles, though they will always return, are kept somewhat under control by pressing the suit after you have worn them. I don’t put mine away with the wrinkles in it. Just before wearing, I give it a once over. If I am traveling, I may take the jacket off, such as in a plane, to avoid wrinkling it further. Just before getting off the plane I put it back on. I love linen and would not ever consider not having a linen suit or linen pocket squares.

This can't be stressed enough. If you expect a suit to be breathable and tolerable in the heat of a tropic climate, the polyester lining you see in this video defeats the purpose of an open weave fabric. I use a travel steamer to get the wrinkles out of my linen suits.

@evanator166
@evanator166 6 жыл бұрын
The best summer fabric in my opinion is wool fresco. Generally it is a wool/mohair blend but to my understanding can also be one or the other also. Fresco has a open weave which makes it color than other fabrics even if they are lighter but tightly woven. A good example would be which is cooler a 8oz tropical wool with a tight weave, a linen with a tight weave, or a 12oz wool fresco with an open weave. The answer is the fresco even though it is heavier. That is the beauty of fresco in that you have a fabric that will drape like a 12oz or 14oz wool suit because it is but be as cool and breathable as other summer fabrics.

Gent's Lounge while I usually really like suit supply they tend to use a polyester lining in their linen suits thus undermining the positive factors of a linen suit. I recently tried one of their linen suits and you could basically feel the heat building up the second I put on the jacket. So, it's not just the outer fabric you should look out for but especially the lining, too.
