OK gentlemen. Here's the drill: show us a great outfit which includes some linen.
We are looking for pure linen here, not blends. Major component (jacket/pants/shirt) in linen is preferred, but a minor component (tie, pocket square etc) is OK as long as it's a key feature of the look.
Classic menswear is preferred, but streetwear is fine too as long as it has cut and style. Ties not mandated as linen is, by definition, a more casual fabric. However, the outfit must have been worn within the last seven days.
Apologies for the lateness in posting this challenge, but I'm travelling this week and fairly busy. Deadline is nevertheless 12 midnight, Eastern Daylight Time (GMT-7).
Here are a few images to inspire you. (I've massively indulged myself here by including one of my own.)
