Most suits have no business being worn in warm weather and yet men keep trying. Wool in July is a commitment to suffering. Linen looks the part for about forty minutes before it becomes a study in entropy. Cotton, done properly, is the answer that more men should arrive at sooner. It breathes. It holds its structure better than linen. It looks sharp at a summer wedding, works for a client meeting when the office air conditioning is wishful thinking, and presses back into shape without too much drama. The fuss comes from the fact that a bad cotton suit looks cheap very quickly. Fabric weight and weave matter enormously. So does the canvas construction. We have been specifically looking at suits where the make justifies the price and the cloth justifies the make. Nothing flimsy. Nothing that bags at the knees after one wear. These are the cotton suits that earn their place in a warm weather wardrobe and then hold it.
