I'd love to find something that can withstand the HK Summer heat. Not even sure a portable air conditioner would do the trick!

I think you would struggle to wear a 13oz Fresco in the summer (when we get one) here in England. Summers here tend to be clammy, with little to no breeze. Fresco would not save you.

Agree with George.

I live in Kent , the garden of England , and our summers are so wet...

I love my linen suits and I only wear them a few weeks a year...

The fit and silhouette are perfect. Exactly what I'd want from a suit.

Very nice stuff. Is the Drapers the 4ply? If so, excellent choice.
