    00:00 Hot Weather Menswear Introduction
    In the comments sections of several of our videos, we see some of you would like to embrace the Classic Style but are concerned that the areas you live in are too hot for it to be practicable.
    Standards of Classic Dress were developed in regions that are generally cooler than many parts of the world. This means that some aspects you may associate with the Classic Style may not be ideal for very high temperatures.

    After 30+ years of living/fine dressing in NYC I always followed 3 rules to beat the summer heat: 1) Always cross to the shady side of the street, 2) Move as calmly, smoothly and slowly as the situation will allow and 3) Try not to get overexcited about anything. Cool and calm wins the day when beating the heat.

    Living in Phoenix Arizona where our average daily summer temp is over 110*F with 0% humidity, Linen and open weave cotton is king. Keeping the sun off is hugely helpful as well so long sleeves can really help reduce not only the heat but the risk of skin cancer. That being said I wear suits through out summer but follow the above points and avoid being outdoors as much as possible. There is a degree of just accepting that it is going to be hot and just wearing what you want anyway.

    Hi! I am from the Caribbean. Due to the fact that we have warm humid weather all year round, we developed the use of the guayabera. For us here, the guayabera is a formal garment used in baptisms, weddings, as well as in any other formal occasion. But you can also use it as a casual garment. You can use guayabera in short sleeves as well as with long sleeves. They are always prepared in lightweight breathable materials, and in light colors. I feel so comfortable with its good looks, that as a lawyer I use guayaberas for my everyday in office (non court) matters. Feel free to look up for guayaberas and its great advantages for hot humid climates. Thanks for the great job, keep it up! Saludos!

    Excellent advice. I’ve always worn long pants (light colored,light weight chinos) in the summer, but I could never explain why I wasn’t hot. Now I can. Also, I wasn’t aware that the chemicals used to make no iron cotton shirts wear so unbreathable. Fortunately I own shirts that need to be ironed (in general I don’t like chemicals added to my clothes).

    Your example of the classic men’s wear worn by the Bedouin’s for the heat was spot on. The wearing of a thoab, serwal, keffiyeh or shemagh sure helps to keep a person cool. Even “Laurence of Arabia” demonstrated this. Like who wants to wear a tie and a jacket in the heat? But this clothing is not popular in Western cultures. Anyway, your examples of the light cloths were great. Personally, I don’t layer at all when it is hot. When the temps are stable around 100 degrees all Summer, clothing is minimal. Even for evening outings.

  • @sonipitts
    @sonipitts 2 года назад +6

    One quibble here - while cotton is the more common summer fabric these days, linen is far superior when it comes to wicking and then releasing moisture, no matter what the climate.
    As you point out in the "sweaty underarms" section on undershirts, cotton is great at *absorbing* moisture...but not always so great at letting go of it. In fact, it tends to act more like a sponge than a wick. Hence wet sweaty underarms, damp smelly socks, the ever-dreaded swamp crotch, etc. And it's also why if you do outdoor activities, you'll frequently hear the maxim that "cotton kills" - since it holds onto water so tenaciously, if you get it wet while hiking or camping it will tend to stay that way, significantly increasing your risk of hyperthermia, creating potentially medically serious levels of chafing and blisters, encouraging fungal and bacterial growth, and adding significant weight to your overall load. So cotton is only really a good moisture-wicking fabric in drier climates or air-conditioned spaces where the heat, humidity, and/or air flow are consistently at the right balance to offset cotton's sponge-like tendencies (although it can be fine as an outer layer, such a light jacket or sweater). Additionally, unless you take care to only buy (very expensive) certified sustainably grown cotton from a reputable and independently verified brand, cotton represents one of the worst water-guzzling and pesticide/herbicide-heavy environmental offenders in the agricultural world.
    Linen, otoh, is a far more environmentally sustainable crop, and the fiber *wicks* (i.e. MOVES) moisture incredibly well without holding onto it like cotton does. So it dries out far more quickly even in humid and damp conditions. This creates a more enhanced cooling sensation vs cotton and makes linen naturally anti-microbial, since it doesn't stay wet. This also means linen won't get smelly like cotton does and it will also perform far better under wool, which also tends to hold onto water, making it a poor choice over potentially wet/sweat-soaked cotton under-layers. And, as Preston noted, it's a far stronger and more durable fiber than cotton, to boot. This is why our forefathers (and mothers) preferred linen shirts and shifts under wool, even when cotton was available - you get all the advanced sweat-wicking/cooling qualities of linen against the skin plus linen's enhanced durability (enabling it to stand up to frequent wear and washing), combined with the temperature-regulating and wear-resistant qualities of wool facing the environment.
    So if you're one of those folks who've previously resigned themselves to being sweaty and damp all summer (or all the time), consider switching to all-linen under-layer system. You might be pleasantly surprised at the improvement.
    (Bamboo is also similarly cooling, but is also quite a weak fiber. So it's more suitable for low-wear/low-stress garments. It does however have a lovely soft feel and drape, as well as providing additional cooling, and brings these traits to the party when blended with other fibers. However, like cotton, bamboo comes with significant environmental costs. While the plant itself is fairly sustainable, bamboo fabric is essentially just another form of synthetic rayon, and requires extensive processing involving a significant amount of electricity, water and toxic chemicals to turn the raw plant matter into a usable fiber. However, some manufacturers are shifting to more 'closed loop' and energy-efficient processes in an attempt to reduce those environmental impacts, so it might be worth looking for that if you are a fan of the fabric.)

    I am down in FL and I have been experimenting with merino wool/wool blend garments for the last couple of years. I will agree that my linen shirts are cooler, but my undershirts in merino have excellent antimicrobial properties that really help with odor control. I really try to have a capsule wardrobe and limit the actual number of clothing items I own. The wool helps with being able to wear items multiple times in between washes and increases the longevity of my purchases. Great luck with unbound merino and wool and prince.

    Thank you *SO MUCH* for covering this topic. I feel heard.

I just wish I learned about this stuff before I started upgrading my wardrobe...
    Between materials and weaves, it can be difficult to know how breathable something will actually be, especially when ordering online. I wish there were some sort of standard rating organization that would assign a breath-ability grade to every piece of clothing. It would also be useful for those who specifically want to seek out warmer clothing that will insulate well. Ah well, that's never going to happen.

    It's 105 today where I live. Here are my tips:
    1. Linen. Linen everything. It's a magical fabric.
    2. Long sleeves. Sounds counterintuitive but you'll be keeping the sun off.
    3. Buy your clothes from places where it's hot. An Italian suit is going to be a lot cooler than an English suit because it's made for people in a hotter place.
    4. Deodorant tries to hide the smell of your sweat. Antiperspirant reduces the amount you sweat in the first place. Use antiperspirant.
    5. A jacket slung over your shoulder still carries a good degree of formality. People subconsciously understand that you are taking your jacket off because it's a sauna outside.

    Very informative video. Instead of a white shirt as back-up I would go for a light blue one, perhaps an Oxford quality. In Italy for example white shirts are only worn for special events such as weddings or funerals. Linen jackets/suits for hot weather are great but when it's really hot a light high twisted wool can't be beaten.

When lounging at home during hot weather it's a tshirt and elastic waist seersucker pants although in the future would love to find one that is 100% cotton instead of synthetic blend.

    When temperatures go up to 30 ºC, I find much more comfort in wearing short sleeve shirts with a light sports jacket (linen or similar), unless of course I'm wearing a suit in which case a long sleeve is required. I personally dislike polo shirts with their floppy collars and much rather opt for the short sleeve shirt which always makes me dressier in a smart/business casual environment. Also, if you walk a lot, ride public transportations, etc, chances are you'll sweat more and short sleeve shirts are great to cool you down. When temperatures rise to >35 ºC it's time to leave the jacket at home or just wear it if you spend all day in an indoor environment with AC or for an important meeting .

    This was great, even though I live in Finland, where a thick overcoat is needed even with a three piece suit for a big part of the year. The good thing is that summer clothes can last for decades here :D
    Having good summer clothes do make the few hot and humid summer days feel even more like a celebration. Personally I love linen shirts in the summer and this spring I bought myself a Panama hat. I've already had the chance to wear it a couple of times and I'm loving it!

    I live on the tropically warm Canary Islands with average annual temperatures of 25 ºC. It is not unusual for temperatures to rise to over 40 ºC.
    In this weather, linen and summer cool wool have proved to be particularly suitable fabrics for my suits and jackets. For shoes, moccasins with invisible cotton socks. For headwear, Panama and 100% Furfelt, which is even more comfortable to wear than Panama I have noticed. The 100% Furfelt preferably from Stetson. I wear everytime a cotton handkerchief in the pckket.

    As a couple of others have mentioned, guayaberas are quite nice in a hot and humid climate. I'm in South Florida, and I own several. I wear them with linen pants, a Panama hat, and huaraches. I know sandals are frowned upon up North, but they seem to be appropriate down here. A quality leather, closed toe sandal works great with that Ernest Hemmingway, old Havana, vibe. I also try to stick to a "Miami Vice" color palette, at least in the Summer.

    Lived in Saigon for 4 years. I wore a shirt, trousers and dress shoes to work, sometimes a tie and never a jacket. Casually, wore linen shirts and shorts - but the most cooling 'garment' of all is flip-flops. If you want to look like an old Vietnamese guy, you should wear loafers with your shorts.
    Locals take lunch at 11ish and nap through the middle of the day. People avoid direct sunlight and spend most of the time in the shade. Mornings are cooler and comfortable; afternoons hot and evenings humid and sticky.
    No matter what you wear, you will sweat like a pig until you are acclimatised, which can take months/ years. Even then, doing anything exertive (even walking) will make you drip. Don't imagine you'll be doing any gentlemanly promenading around - it's not a walkable city, the sidewalks are still governed by motorbikes (parked and in motion). Hats aren't a thing, because motorbike helmets. Office jobs usually have a more formal dress code, but also have intense aircon. When outside, get the bike up past 30/40kph and you'll have a pleasant cooling breeze.

    One of the things I use to combat the heat, is not wearing items until absolutely necessary. If an event calls for a jacket, that jacket is off until I get inside. If it's outdoors, polo or short sleeved shirts and I'm looking for shade. Living in S. Florida, one must make certain concessions and be smart. My linen guayabera shirts are a must.

    Believe it or not, THEE absolutely most comfortable Summer dress clothes that I ever owned, were made of a Nylon/Rayon blend and were of 1950s vintage.
    This was back in the Eighties when I was in my late Teens, early Twenties... I happened to live in Houston at the time, and I guess that this type of clothing was quite popular there, back in The Day.
    I'd find it "new/old" at the more established Menswear stores around town, and also second hand in the thrift stores... There were TONS of the stuff floating around back then.
    There were dress and Sport shirts... They were either solid colors or patterned.
    The weave wasn't open enough to be "see through", but SO OPEN that one didn't need to wear an undershirt... And I have to say that I'd sometimes get downright chilly, even in 90 degree weather... Considering sweating, combined with either the breeze or being in an air conditioned building.
    The suits were almost all of a Shantung-looking slub weave, some were one solid color, others were a base color with differently toned slubs... They looked just like silk, but all had a weave that was just open enough to let air flow through.
    Another great characteristic of those garments, was that they were all incredibly lightweight, too.
    Unfortunately, I either sold or gave away those beloved suits when I magically transmogrified from a 40/42 long coat, 30/32 waist trouser... To a 44 L/ 38 waist.🙄
    Middle Age Spread has a rotten way of sneaking up on a lot of us... But I sure do miss those clothes.
    I've never seen anything else like them since.
