Hello everyone:

The title speaks for itself. My initial thought was using it for a tuxedo. But now I am considering using it for a suit. What do yall think. I live in Florida, so itd hopefully be able to withstand hot weather.

Warm regards

I haven’t tried this in steamy weather, but I would be disinclined to slot it into that. More of a year round evening thing that could mitigate high temperatures at banquets and opera performances.

Dear jonathans,

I made it up as a tuxedo - it ends up looking more like barathea than I expected, it certainly has some texture to the cloth.

It’s a very stark and formal cloth due to the slight shine from the mohair. I too have considered it as a suit to wear in the evening, I believe it should work well, just not as something to wear during the day.

Tuxedo or a suit for the evening, I believe it works either way!

Best,
A
