Summer Suits Advice/Opinion

My rule of thumb is that once the temperature gets above 75 it's too hot for a tie and above 80 too hot for a coat. However, today I was down the coast visiting MyTailor.com HQ and they let me look at the Minnis Fresco sample book. That is some amazingly airy stuff. It ain't cheap, none, a MTM suit running about $1500 but if you can afford it and want a cool wearing suit for the summer, this is the stuff. I need a new suit for the coming 'winter' (SoCal style, like 10-11 oz. material) but will be saving my shekels to hopefully order a summer coat and slacks around the coming March. Great stuff, Fresco.

A few days ago I had the chance to put my Palm Beach suit to the test and it held up quite well at temperatures of around 87 out in the sun.

Easy skanking, skanking it easy...

I guess i was wrong, summer wools do work. I guess I'm going to buy one, anybody no where to get a quality one.

I live in South Florida. I wear linen and cotton poplin suits, and a few light weight wool trousers. But, linen is my standby. I don't mind that casually wrinkled look at all; with my carefree pocket square and tie keeping the top of my collar kinda closed...I am a handsome man in court!
