Your Heat Wave Wardrobe: Staying Cool in Hot Summer Sun

In honor of our July Heat Wave Promotion, I thought it appropriate to blog about the warm weather fabrics that help get us through the scorching summertime...

When working on your summer wardrobe there are a few primary factors to keep in mind that should help influence your decision...The big C's: Comfort...Color...Cut...Cool...


Fabric choice is of supreme importance when choosing clothing for your summer wardrobe, whether it be for 'summer in the city', or a tropical destination. One would do very well indeed to choose fabrics that are lightweight such as Linen and Cotton.

LINEN is a great choice: it is elegant, beautiful, and durable; the refined luxury fabric. Linen is the strongest of the vegetable fibers and has 2 to 3 times the strength of Cotton. Not only is the linen fiber strong, it is smooth, making the finished fabric lint free and it only gets softer and finer the more it is washed.

Linen is from flax, a bast fiber taken from the stalk of the plant. The luster is from the natural wax content. From creamy white to light tan, this fiber can be easily dyed and the color does not fade when washed.


This is a great choice especially if a light color is selected, which helps reduce heat absorption from direct sunlight. Lightweight, flexible and extremely breathable, Linen is the perfect summer fabric choice for all garments: Suits, Shirts, Trousers, Blazers...

The perfect summer addition to your wardrobe!

FYI: Linen typically wrinkles very easily, so I am advising you gentlemen to spend a little time with the IRON and get acquainted with it, this way you can do a little touch up when necessary .This will in turn save on laundry bills and most important avoid displeasing your partner.
