This is just a thread for my curiosity, hopefully shared by others here. I was curious to track the spreading of summer clothing, which I would classify as cotton and linen suits, linen slacks or shirts, and seersucker. If anyone wants to reply with their first wearing, I will happily add it to the map. To that end, I have created a google map: See the map here I'll go first, dove gray cotton suit, 3/24. I know, before labor day, but I live in SoCal...

I put my winter suits, blazers, and topcoats away last week. This week I started wearing my lighter weight suits. I won't start wearing linen and cotton until mid-May.

I wore a cotton jacket a few weeks back. But I put my overcoat away in Feb. Then took it out. Then put it away. Then took it out and NOW IT'S PUT AWAY!@#@#!

What are your guys' vague locations? That certainly influences it.

Best way to guarentee a frigid breeze, put away your overcoat...

Just to clarify, I'm wearing my darker-colored lighter weight suits now and will start wearing the lighter colored ones in mid-April.
