how to buy a summer suit: look cool in the heat

Suits are not just for the winter; our newest collections of fabric are most comfortable in spring, summer and fall. Design a suit that is a representation of you in different fits and colors.

Thinking about wearing a suit in the summer can seem like an oxymoron; wearing some heavy wool jacket when it’s 80 degrees out sounds less than comfortable but some occasions call for the dress code.  However,  there are so many kinds of fabric that are made especially for the summer suiting season. 

Summer jackets are typically constructed of light, natural fibers such as bamboo, linen and silk with merino wool to create  a lightweight, breathable jacket.  When holding the fabric up to the light, you can see the breathability while still being spun in an exceptional fashion.  For example, Dormeuil’s spring/summer fabrics are made of 35% worsted wool (a high quality type of wool), 23% bamboo, 22% silk and 20% linen.

Summer jackets can be comprised of matching jackets and pants, but the beauty comes in the functionality.  Select a beautiful summer plaid and wear it with linen, khaki or light grey pants. Our newest fabric company, Stylbiella, has created some beautiful colors to create a fun and lighthearted look.  Pair it with one of our made to measure shirts in a summery pattern for a stand out look.

Holland and Sherry is approaching the season with finely woven windowpane, contemporary check, semi plain and bold texture stripe designs in this collection. The fabrics are bold, but not loud. You will definitely be noticed but in a confident, intriguing way.

Holland and Sherry’s summer collection boasts delicate hues of blue, teal, turquoise, warm tans and corals to enhance any wardrobe with modern, yet timeless, pieces. The suit world is going through a revolution where suits aren’t only for seasoned executives; the Millennials and Gen Z’s appreciate craftsmanship and sustainability.  The wool used from these mills are often virgin wool that isn’t chemically treated and spun in a very specific way.  Our mills are known to work with generational farmers to support their economy and family values.
