What this means to you: The summer days are upon us… well for some. It’s worth your while to get into a suit that’s less than 5 hundy but still makes you like a couple grand.
Cost: $250 Blazer + $128 Pant @ Banana Republic
Loving the khaki suit look. Perfect for the breezy spring/summer days and can go day into evening. It’s also great because Khaki is 100% cotton, and thus easier to care for than linen, while still being light-weight. Linen wrinkles too easily and is murder on a dry cleaning bill.
It might be possible for a few dollars more to have a suit like this made. I just wrote an article on bespoke/MTM suits. I interviewed Simon Blair who is a second generation cutter and Peter Klamka from Ann Arbor, Michigan who is a bespoke customer. Check it out if you have time.
