Even on a close to 100 degree day natural fabrics rule. Grabbed my old Garnet Flannel (summer flannel) HSM Hart Schaeffner and Marx navy blazer. I’ve recently bought some clothes from my buddy Steve Giles: light weight tan Gaberdine trousers (double front deep pleats) and a madras’s shirt (New England Shirt Company) and a silk navy with polka dotted pocket square. I added Pendleton socks, Martin Dingman bridle loafers and matching belt picked up from Travers Mahan Clothing and my old Wenger field watch with a navy/Green nato stripe band. Doesn’t get much more basic classic timeless menswear than this but still seems to fit the need. https://stevengilesclothing.com https://traversmahanapparel.com

I quite like to dress as formally as I can with my limited wardrobe, whenever I can. I have some old suits that really need replacing now, but until I can manage to pick up another new suit or two I will have to hold onto them! I really love a white shirt and black tie combo with a light grey suit! I dress it up a little with a silver tie pin and silver collar pin! I think this grey suit of mine is a little small for me now, so I think it looks a bit better when the jacket isn't buttoned, as when it is, it's a little tight for me! I actually made holes in my shirt collar in order to be able to use it with a collar pin! I really don't advise this as you can make mistakes, and ruin the shirt! But I am happy with this outcome in the photo. I think a collar pin really adds to a shirt and tie combo! I find that ready-made shirts with collar pin holes tend to have oversized collars and they just don't feel right on me, I much prefer a narrower collar. What is your favourite shirt/tie/suit combo?
