Linen Suits

[TheAdMan]

Hey guys,
I'm looking for a linen suit for the summer. Navy or beige I think would look nice.

Can you recommend any in the $300-600 range?

Thanks!

Does it have to be linen? You have so many more options if you're open to cotton or a cotton/linen blend.

 

[TheAdMan]

Yeah, blend is fine!

Also, linen look-alike is fine.

Out of curiosity, what size are you?

Threedifferent.com had some linen suits by Boglioli at good prices the last time I looked

brooks brothers has a pretty decent selection for around $600. J-Crew has some for around $400, but I can't comment on their suit quality.

Highly recommend flax suits! Less wrinkling than linen or linen/cotton and stronger material than linen. Price point is a little higher but will last.

Cheers

Yeah, linen in made from flax. Maybe he is thinking of hemp.

 

[wEstSidE]

oh true. good fabric for sure. got that linen look but doesnt wrinkle as easily. obvious downside is that it's hard to find.

here's a Borrelli of mine from a few years back...

This Vacca is really nice too and the color has always been on my mind...

Yeah, flax is a bit different material. Seems like Polo makes a lot of stuff in flax rather than linen.

Westy, pm'd you on some seperate ish.
