Memorial Day
Memorial Day is the day we pause to give thanks to those who have given their lives in the service of our country, and to them goes our eternal gratitude for making the supreme sacrifice.
Seersucker
Sartorially, it is also the day the rules allow us to begin to break out our summer clothing, in particular the seersuckers, the white or dirty bucks and our warm weather hats.
I’m wearing a Haspel seersucker suit, a pink linen shirt from Hemrajani Brothers, a pink and blue Ben Silver linen tie, a linen pocket square from Kent Wang, and although you can’t see them, pink Marcoliani socks and a limited edition calf and suede Alden spectator shoe. The hat is an Akubra Capricorn.
It’s a bit more of a Southern gentleman look than one normally sees in Indiana, but since men’s warm weather wear in Indiana typically consists of t-shirts, shorts and flip flops with a baseball cap, I’ll take the Southern gentleman look any day of the week.
