Ya got me! Tough to know where to post items like these nowadays as I'm technically not wearing them although they do come from fun fabrics.

The fabric is not the lightest, so it helps to have a breeze. Honestly, though, I'm just not wearing a suit outside that much, so I don't really notice. I'm relatively uncomfortable in any fabric in the D.C. summer heat.

Yeah, I imagine DC isn't the best city for anything other than seersucker in the summer!
