Do you really have to choose between comfort and style?
Designing a custom suit for warm weather requires careful consideration of both comfort and style. Several factors come into play, including the construction, fabric choice, weave, and weight.
An unstructured design with minimal padding enhances breathability and allows for greater movement, while lightweight materials provide essential ventilation. The fabric’s weave is also crucial; open weaves promote airflow, helping regulate body temperature. By selecting fabrics with a weight ranging from 250 g/m² to 320 g/m², you achieve the perfect balance between substance and lightness, ensuring a sharp look without sacrificing comfort during those summer events.
Fabrics
When designing a custom suit for warmer weather, fabric choice is essential to staying cool and comfortable. Lightweight wools are ideal, as they’re breathable, thin, and naturally moisture-wicking. That’s why we developed our TwistAir Collection, featuring high-twist wool. This fabric uses tightly spun yarns to create a resilient, airy weave that allows air to circulate freely while resisting wrinkles. It’s perfect for the groom or busy gentleman on the go who wants a strong, durable suit that feels light, comfortable, and breathable while maintaining a sharp look. It’s a bestseller for good reason.

Linen is a popular fabric for suiting in warm weather, valued for its breathability and natural texture. Made from the flax plant, linen has an open weave that allows air to flow freely, helping keep you cool and comfortable even on the hottest days.
Its lightweight feel and natural moisture-wicking properties make it ideal for outdoor events, such as summer weddings and relaxed gatherings. A Linen suit’s slightly rumpled texture gives it a relaxed, effortless charm, though it naturally wrinkles more than wool, adding to its casual appeal. For a refined look that balances style and comfort, linen is an excellent choice.

Weighing in at 320 g/m², the fabric offers ideal comfort for warm weather while maintaining structure through a durable twill weave.

Construction
Although the fabric is the most important factor, the way you “build” your suit also has a crucial effect on temperature. If you are getting married in August or July, it might be a good idea to increase the ventilation in the fabric – this is achieved by using less lining. As well as full lining, we also offer the option of removing the lining at the back or leaving it out altogether. Removing the lining removes an extra layer of fabric between you and the suit, allowing air to circulate easier in and out of the jacket. Now, the lining is there for a reason; it helps maintain the shape of the fabric and makes the whole construction more stable. This is why it is preferable to remove the lining only at the back, for airability and comfort’s sake, leaving the front looking sharp as ever. Since the jacket can be opened at the front, removing the front lining makes less of a difference. However, in the hottest of summers, everything counts for those who run really hot, so you can also remove the entire lining.
Fully lined construction
The grey areas in this image are the lining, which covers the entire front and back of the jackets inside.
Half lined construction
The half lined construction is open in the back, while covering the parts that experience the most friction; the front and shoulders.
Unlined construction
The unlined construction features no gray area i.e. lining, such a suite will generally have less structure and drape to it.
Questions about comfort and style
What fabrics to choose for a summer wedding?
Depending on the occasion and the season, you’ll want to choose a fabric that’s airy, elegant and comfortable to wear all day. Firstly, it is always important to choose natural fibres such as wool, linen or cotton. Synthetic fibres are strongly discouraged as they tend to smell and become damp with prolonged wear. Depending on how it is woven, wool can be quite comfortable, even on a warm summer’s day. If you can find it, a light and beautiful wool weave such as TwistAir is a good choice, this is a special type of Panama weave that breathes very well and has a bit of natural stretch. Linen is a natural choice for summer suits as it lends itself very well to loose weaves.
Can I wear a waistcoat to a summer wedding?
A vest is a nice addition, either in the same colour as the original suit or in a different colour. However, it is inevitably an extra layer of insulation to carry around your torso. It is, however, a very good excuse to take off your jacket early in the wedding. Regardless, we recommend that if you opt for a three-piece suit, it should be made from a lightweight, breathable fabric.
Where can I buy a comfortable suit?
To make a suit comfortable many different factors need to be taken into consideration; warmth, fit and use. The only way to get a truly comfortable suit that fits, is to get it made to your measure. That is why we recommend that you’ll get it custom made to your needs.
