How did guys wear suits in the summer in the 60s? Linen suits are barely wearable in the heat, but anything lined seems like a death sentence, even if it's just lining in the arms

Seersucker cotton and especially linen feels exactly like being naked.

You can easily skip the jacket on the hottest days.

all about the material. Linen shirts breathe rather easily. I am quite partial to The Row's Men's Summer 2026 line as they use that material incorporated into the style.

Why? With a double vent the jacket can’t spread so don’t you end up sitting on it?

Autumn/Winter is coming. Anons please talk me out of buying this harris tweed coat before I'm stupid enough to buy it.

>>18756710
Double vent is considered classier as it doesn't "fishtail" (when the single vent spreads and shows your ass)

I'm not a Trad/Ivy/Prep guy and I don't have a blazer in my wardrobe at the moment but want one, looking at Kamakura's site at the moment
>wool, cotton, linen, etc
>2 button, 3 button
>structured, unstructured
>blue, black, brown, etc
Wtf do I get
>>
>>18757170
Assuming you live somewhere with a non-tropical climate and have cooler seasons: Wool + 2 button + unstructured + blue = classic first blazer.
>>
>>18756747
Sadly no one seems to make voile shirts anymore which are arguably even better. I have a 30s/40s era arrow tuxedo shirt with a body made of voile fabric and it lets me keep cool even with a heavy weight wool barathea tuxedo jacket more suited to winter than summer. Can only imagine if I actually went and made the jacket in summer weight. Only downside is you can't take off your jacket or you look pretty naked.

Damn. My first jacket, which just arrived, is single vent because I didn’t really think when he asked me. I know this isn’t really trad or ivy or prep but I have no idea what style category it belongs to. It’s made out of two different kimonos. I suppose it’s not possible to tailor a jacket into double-vent, is it?
>>
>>18757243
You can change it if there is no lining over the vents, but it will look weird. In your case it may be doable if you find similar fabrics. Good luck finding a tailor who wants to do it
>>
>>18757246
How much fabric would be needed? My tailor did include a small bit of it, maybe just a 2x6 strip
>>
>>18757243
Most people who go to the circus won't care whether your jacket is single- or double-vent. They're just there to have a good time.
>>
>>18757284
you need at least 2x6 for extension of the side part, on both sides. This is the one that sits under the back panels and will be visible when the vents open. Ideally, you'd also have the same amount also on the inner side, where it connects to the back panel. So you'd need 4 such strips.
Closing the existing single vent should be possible. You cannot take the material from there and use it for the side vents, without it looking strange.
My suggestion would be to get a very similarly fabric, maybe even just a plain red one, just for the vents.
Best discuss it with the alterations tailor. They will probably decline it, mostly because adding the vents there is a non-standard operation for them and they usually want easy and fast work. Second, even if they can do a vent in such a way the result may look strange and leave you dissatisfied, so that's also a risk for them.

Bought myself a Barbour from the 90s.

As expected, it smells old, like an old book or a crayon... It's not a particularly bad smell, but it's not something you'd want to smell like.
I wonder if there's a candle, incense or something that smells like that because I keep sniffing it like a drug addict.

>>18757657
yes, very good observation
but it's not the same smell of a wax candle

Thongs unironically makes your butt look really nice and tight since they lift the inner cheeks up while keeping your package compact.
That's why they were originally invented, to make your ass look nice even while wearing normal pants over them.

Has to just be an unfortunate crease on the left and caused by the pocket on the right, no?

Today’s trad outfit is a Uniqlo button down shirt with a vintage 1940s Elsa Schiaparelli orange and white silk tie with white chinos and George cox Chelsea boots. The brown frock coat is from Loch Hart, a Scottish brand and the other accessories are a black Varzar flatcap and a Cartier wristwatch to put the whole thing together.
>>
>>18762134
are the stripes acutally little bumps or is it just an illusion thanks to the black lines?

It’s an illusion to appear that way. Schiaparelli was at one time Coco Chanel’s main rival and she experimented with avant- grade designs like that which play with illusion and perception.

I need some beater shoes that are fast to take on and off for casual wear for both summer and winter
Thinking white canvas sneakers with elastic laces for summer and some kind of Chelsea style rain boot for winter
Thoughts?
>>
>>18763783
I mean yeah either a sneaker or a loafer for summer
and then for winter a boot of your choosing adjusted for the weather you experience
