Good discussion on long sleeve vs short sleeve and loosely knit summer clothing. Also based on my own observation and what you also see folks traditionally wearing in a very hot and sunny weather e.g middle east - If you are in direct sun, you would actually feel cooler and less sweaty in long sleeve loosely knit shirt than in comparable short sleeve shirt. Of course if you only stay in a shade than clearly short sleeve shirts are superior for keeping cool.
Perfect video. My personal style in the summer includes shorts which I know is not your style, but the shirt options are the same. Chambray, linen, rayon, and light weight cotton plain weaves are ideal. One thing to note is not all rayon is created with the same environmental specifications. Cheap rayon is terrible for the environment. I try to use Tencel brand rayon fabric as much as possible since it’s made responsibly and is super high quality. Tencel aloha shirts are the most comfortable shirt I have found.
Great video! Would definitely be curious to see some more talk on the best summer trousers, I’m unfortunately still stuck on the shorts train in NY the humidity is brutal in July/August.
When I was in the navy, chambray shirts were our basic work shirt. I hated them. But, 30+ years later, I am starting to appreciate the look. I also used to wear western shirts for work when I was doing construction inspection and I would occasionally get compliments on them on the job site. Never would have expected that.
A long-sleeved chambray shirt is a great option for protecting your skin and still living with summer heat, especially if you're trying to look after your tattoos. Obviously skin cancer is far more serious, but I'm just a very shallow person. Anatomica's Big Yank repros are fantastic, I think definitely on a par with The Rite Stuff's Heracles which is the only Rite Stuff item I have. Going off on a tangent, do you by any chance have a pair of The Rite Stuff Daybreak pants? They look phenomenal! Thanks again for another fun, informative vid.
Yes exactly. I love chambray shirts for that purpose. Cover the sun but still have breathability. Yes I have the charcoal ones and wear them a lot. I love them
@@almostvintagestylekeep doing you, man. I really love and enjoy the content, and I thought this video was incredibly helpful. I picked up a nice blue and white striped linen short sleeve and I LOVE it! Also, Ferrari fan or just Leclerc?
