Minimum wardrobe posting

[alden]

Gentlemen

I have posted the Minimum wardobe list we created together on the yahoo site. You can find it in the Articles section.

At the time, a suggestion was made to try and break down the essential wardrobe list by seasons. I suggest that we start by thinking about what items we require specially for the warm days of late Spring and Summer. Dressing well in these periods is a true test of a wardrobe's substance. What are your thoughts?

2 linen suits unlined, patch pockets.
Tan, off-white or gray. Can be worn as odd jackets.

2 fresco suits unlined.
Light gray, blue. Gray for day wear, blue for evening can also be Mohair.

Trousers: lightweight flannel in off-white, fresco in light grey and tan, gabardine

Twill shoes in off white
Spectator shoes also an option

Panama hat/Linen caps

Your additions to the list?

Since Spring and Summer season is just around the bend, I am bumping this five year old thread to the top again.

This is an interesting post because in the last few years LL members have actually made the light gray and blue Brisa cloth, the spectators, and linen caps. The lightweight white (gray) flannel is on the way..

What's our next Spring order of business?

I remain very interested in the heavy sand or tobacco linen proposed in another thread. Does that look likely to happen?
