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.

What was the appeal of the ticket pocket for you, anon?

>> No.17143334

>>17143315
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.

>> No.17143353

>>17143334
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.

>> No.17144389

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.

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.

Also seersucker and linen. Baggy fits.

>> No.17144977

>>17144954
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.

This is true. That's why I wear jeans (and I also wear other types of pants, you yankee faggot) 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.
