Last (probably) summer item for me. Many of this summer shirts are really nice IMO. Most of the shorts are too long for my taste :(. What's everyone's favorite summer shirt this season?

How long is too long, you can take to local dry cleaner to roll up the hem and sewn it if the print doesn’t look weird

Yes, that's exactly what I plan to do with a few of the RRL shorts I have.

Here's a nice pictorial contrast of current popular short length (almost touching the knees) and the shorter length I prefer (almost a "necessity" for me as I'm short). BTW, it's also a nice character contrast between Jude Law's character and Matt Damon's character (the relaxed spread collar vs the button up, etc.). Highly recommended for those who haven't seen the movie (The Talented Mr. Ripley).

I really like the print of that shirt but I find the fabric a bit light. Of course that didn't stop me from getting it. I do wish it was a tighter weave cotton like this season's blue one though.

The fabric is a bit thin for my taste too (not so much because of the thinness, but I prefer how thicker fabric drapes better). I also prefer the cream color over the blue as I have too many blue pieces.

Both the red and blue shirts below are made of cotton jersey, but the blue drapes better as its fabric is thicker. Both are quite different so I'm glad I got both.

Ha, I got those two as well. Agree about the blue fabric. I almost went all in on the camp shirts this past season. I skipped the blue Hawaiian flower print due to the fabric being 55 linen/45 viscose like the white nautical print. WFH has made me turn even more towards casual shirts like those. The plain white cotton oxford shirt is really nice too. It's super lightweight though.

Hey fellas does anyone have this coat available or have spotted it online anywhere? I'm looking for a size Small. It's from a few years ago and I'm kicking myself for not picking it up now.

Don't you mind losing the stone- washed effect?
Not really. They were white to begin with, so It was never really there. Also, it will eventually come with washings. A gentle fading. . I just like the colors. They are very vibrant, and not washed out and muted.

This beautiful piece just pops up on the site. IMO, the colors and patterns are suitable for everyday, and the raised textures of the knitting patterns look awesome. Interesting combination of wool, lambswool, linen, and mulberry silk should make for a comfortable, non-itchy feel.
