    Wonderful segment! Chris is the Style King. Love his wardrobe. I got my first real job at age 15. It required a suit. My Dad, who commuted to NYC every day, took me to one of NY's best department stores and said, "Wear tropical wool. You'll stay cool in the summer and warm in winter." Now a much older man living in Florida, I still follow that sage advice. Happy to wear wool slacks in summer.

    I’m so glad you mentioned and showed an example of wool seersucker. Reading stories involving men in “seersucker suits” always gave me the wrong image of a man absurdly dressed in a white and color striped suit. I could never take those characters seriously. Now I know and these characters make so much more sense!

    Thanks so much Chris. I purchased my first summer suit last year, in Solaro wool. As you say the fabric is relatively heavy but i found it very cool on my wedding day in mid summer. Your excellent video explains why

      I love Solaro and had a suit made a few years back.
      Sadly, Solaro does not love me and it did not suit my colouring.

    I didn’t know where to ask this question, so I am asking in this latest video release.
    What’s the best method to remove creases from silk squares? Also, what’s the best method of storage for my squares?
    Thank you.

    • @RampleyandCo
      @RampleyandCo  7 месяцев назад +2

      Hi @JRehak1962. The easiest way to remove creases is to give your squares an iron. The safe option is to put a tea towel over the top, turn the steam off (you're more likely to damage the silk with water rather than heat), and set the iron to a medium to high heat. If the creases are quite stubborn, just keep turning the heat up till they come out. We directly iron our squares all the time and never have an issue, but start with a tea towel first.
      We actually made a short on how to store you pocket squares which you can see on the link below!

    What makes a wool fabric a "Traveller" Fabric ? That is a wool or wool blend that is highly wrinkle resistant, comfortable, and wear resistant for business trips ? Is it the weave? 4 or 6 ply ? heavier weight ? Lower S100 numbers, a bit of spandex? or some nano or 21 micron thing ? I see VBC sells both "supersonic" and 4&6 ply weaves.

    • @RampleyandCo
      @RampleyandCo  7 месяцев назад +3

      Thanks for the comment. "Traveller" fabric is crafted from high-twist, open-weave wool, which has a cool wear and a springy texture. This special weave not only makes them resistant to wrinkles but also incredibly breathable. The porous nature of the weave contributes to the jacket's durability, making it perfect for business trips where comfort and resilience are key.

    • @chrismodoo6563
      @chrismodoo6563 7 месяцев назад +1

      The VBC 4ply and 6ply are both great cloths. My DB blazer I wear with gold buttons is made in it. I also have a lot of trousers in their 4ply. Really nice fabrics made with 21micron wool but quite heavy for modern tastes. But they tailor a dream and I find them ideal for travel.

    "Wool is not a summer fabric" . Perhaps he has never been in a place of 42 Celsius degrees with 90% of relative humidity.

    • @cesaryanezfernandez9799
      @cesaryanezfernandez9799 7 месяцев назад +1

      @chrismodoo6563 Thank you for opening this lovely discussion. Africa and Asia are huge continents. I'm pretty sure that in some places of Asia there is similar weather during summer. The place I mention is Veracruz, Veracruz, Mexico. This week weather forecast is an average between 25-34 Celsius degrees and 74% of rel humidity. Dew point at 21 C. In summer, during heatwave (hot humid air coming from equator) that can last a week, you can get to 42C and 90% rel humidity. Average conditions at summer are 38 C with 80% rel humidity.
      An impressive outfit might be to wear a bespoke full linen guayabera during the day or a full linen jacket at the evening and a Panama Hat.

I have never had the pleasure to visit Mexico but I did purchase some guayaberas in Havana, Cuba some years ago. (I would love a bespoke linen version). I also like linen tailoring (Irish or French variety) but when the weather is particularly hot and humid I prefer something lightweight so would wear the wool jacket in the video. I think one of the images of me wearing it was in Florence where humidity is quite high.
