Interesting. I tried suspenders but I find them quite uncomfortable, pulling down on my shoulders all day long. It might be me not having found the perfect setting yet, but I'm not converted. I'll keep using the side adjusters for now.

Make sure your trousers are loose enough to allow them to hang at the appropriate place. If they're too tight your waist will naturally push them down and then they're fighting against the suspenders and creating a "load" on your shoulders. If you have side adjusters on those trousers, try loosening them off a little, set the suspenders at the correct height to maintain the waist of the trousers at the desired level and your suspenders should only be supporting the actual weight of the trousers

Taking a break from linen trousers, for an old pair of unfashionably loose tropical wool pants, loose being a virtue in today's heat and humidity, and topped off with a new linen cap.

Shirt - Tyrwhitt
Trousers and cap - Brooks Brothers
Shoes - Paul Stuart house brand

I regret not getting some of these L/S polos a long time ago. I was worried they might be too heavy but I was proven wrong. Also, these shoes might be the only ones I wear all summer.

@Alocin that polo looks great. You mind telling me what L/S stand for? Are these still for sale?

I believe it's Long-sleeves

Thank you! @cunning47 is correct. And yes they are over at Kent Wang! But be sure to go off their size chart because they run very small.

It not so much that I'm ahead of the curve, it's rather more that, on the oval track of style, I'm being lapped by trends . . .

Thanks for the head's up! I'll have a look at the site

I've got that Le Laboureur jacket, and did two things to make it fit better (the size 3 fit me in the arms but was a bit big in the shoulders). First, I washed it in the machine to get the stiffness out of the wool and to shrink it a tiny bit overall, and then took it to a tailor and had the sides taken in 1". Still boxy but not square. It's an exceptionally cool coat that always gets compliments. And, it was 150 euros here in France.

If you weren’t doing something right, it wouldn’t keep coming back into fashion!

Happy 4th.
