The weather in NYC remains mild, dry and sunny, for today at least, with predictions for hotter, more humid weather coming as early as tomorrow. Thus, the window of opportunity for wearing today's ensemble comfortably is today.

As I have said before, a three-piece linen suit is something of a logical absurdity, but a very attractive one nonetheless, and my Facebook account has been spitting out memories of me wearing today's suit, giving me the itch to wear it, before the weather turns so hot and humid that the thought of long trousers is unbearable, never mind a waistcoat. As I am unconstrained by employment from wearing whatever happens to come to mind, I am indulging that luxury to the full.

Suit, shirt, and tie - Brooks Brothers
Cufflinks - Saks Fifth Avenue
Pocket square - Harvie & Hudson, London
Vintage watch chain
Shoes - Santoni, via Saks Fifth Avenue
Hat - Christys, via Thomas Farthing, London
Face mask - New & Lingwood

Very classy and extremely well tailored. Where do you find good tailors these days?

Yes, of course. Can’t mention it here though since I’m not an affiliate vendor at the moment, but it shouldn’t be hard to find online..

Thank you for the compliments. The suit was bought off the rack at Brooks Brothers several years ago, and refitted to me after a small weight loss by my alterations tailor in lower Manhattan a few years ago.
