Men's Suits: Summer 2010

SUMMER SUIT STYLES

The linen suit

Turns out some of the finest linen in the world doesn’t come from Italy. Hundreds of miles away from Milan’s fashion houses on the rural northern coast of Ireland is Ballymena -- home to the fabric mills of Baird McNutt. The designers at J.Crew have teamed up with this nearly century-old operation to offer its incredibly affordable (and breathable) linen in a suit with all the modern trimmings: slimmer cut, narrow lapels, shorter jacket length, and flat-front trousers. Sold as separates with a matching vest thrown into the mix, the options are as endless as the days of summer.

The white suit

The simplicity of a bright white suit proves that less is definitely more. And the same applies for how you should wear it. Anything black, too saturated, or worse, a Don Johnson-esque T-shirt cheapens the look. Even the leaner cut of this suit may not be enough to avoid a mid-'80s flashback, so stick with safer solid shirts in muted tones of blue and purple. Prints and solids in richer colors can also be an option, but only if you’re sartorially inclined toward tastes north of South Beach.

The seersucker suit

Seersucker has always been somewhat of a joke among people from north of the Mason-Dixon. It’s worn in a trouser here or a jacket there, but never the complete candy-striped suit. Among Southerners the story is completely different. For them, seersucker is a way of life. It’s a sign of sophistication and the mark of a gentleman -- not to mention totally practical in 90 degree heat. This version from conservative clothier Brooks Brothers has a surprisingly trimmer fit. The suit reads as a neutral, so almost any of your usual shirt-tie combos will work. And while you’re appropriately attired sipping on sweet tea, everyone else can sweat it out in their unconscionable wool wardrobe.

Mad Men's Hamm guests on The Simpsons

Jon Hamm, who portrays ad agency creative director Don Draper on the hit series Mad Men, will be featured in a guest spot on The Simpsons this December. (AMC/CTV)

Starring in Mad Men undoubtedly stretches Jon Hamm's dramatic muscles, but the actor tests out his comedic chops in an upcoming cameo on the long-running animated TV series The Simpsons.

Hamm, who stars as the cable show's cool and ruthless adman Don Draper, has recorded a segment for an upcoming Simpsons episode set to air in December.

In the mafia-themed episode, entitled Donnie Fatso, Hamm portrays an FBI supervisor to whom Homer Simpson must regularly report after infiltrating local mobster Fat Tony's crew.

Actor Joe Mantegna reprises his recurring role as Fat Tony.

"There's no Mad Men reference [in the episode]," Simpsons executive producer Al Jean told pop culture magazine Entertainment Weekly.

"Jon's a gruff FBI man ... He has no patience for Homer."


Jean also praised Hamm's versatility — previously noted by fans in the actor's well-received guest spots on 30 Rock and Saturday Night Live.

"You gave him one note and he immediately did 12 great things with it," Jean told EW. "He was really funny. And handsome. He had it all."

In 2008, the Simpsons team created a spoof of Mad Men's stylish intro segment for its own annual Treehouse of Horror episode, substituting Homer Simpson and images from the fictional town of Springfield for the original's Don Draper amid images of Manhattan ad campaigns.

The Basics of Victorian Men's Clothes

The Victorian era began in 1837. Men's dress had already changed considerably. Whereas all men's trousers were once knee-length, now only little boys wore knickers or breeches, although a man might still wear them for riding. However, as opposed to the days when he would show off well-toned calves in stockings, he now wore riding boots. Clothes were less colorful than they had been, with fewer patterned fabrics. Wigs were increasingly going out of fashion, as was hair powdering.

All men, except for laborers, wore three-piece suits every day. No man would consider himself dressed unless he was wearing trousers, a waistcoat over his shirt and a coat. Of course, he also required a tie and a hat. The cuts of coats changed over the decades, as did the width of trousers, but the basics were always the same. By the end of the century, cuts were such that a modern man can look at them and recognize his own suits.

A Variety of Coats
French fashion was very much in vogue in the 1830s and the Victorians were happy to copy some of the cuts of men's coats, although not the bright colors. The most common coat for men was the frock coat, which varied in length but whose style was always that of a nipped waist and skirted bottom. For more formal occasions, this coat was worn with what a modern man would recognize as cutaway tails for a tuxedo.

Coats gradually became shorter and simpler, starting as soon as the 1840s with the invention of the sewing machine. By the 1870s, coats had become sack suits. These were boxy suits with coats that hung just past the hips and had no middle seam, so that they were loose. This changed slightly in the 1880s, as coats became more like modern suit jackets in length and style, with fitted details and a middle seam above the pockets.

The Waistcoat
Although now called a "vest" in American parlance, this garment is perhaps the most important in Victorian men's clothes. Men of all ages and class wore them. Very often, it was a way to express some personality with color and fabric, even in those days of rigidity.

The average man had only one or two suits, but he would have several waistcoats to wear with it. In the 1840s, China was open to the world and so silk became comparatively inexpensive. Thus, most waistcoats were made of silk and men were loath to button their coats all the way, preferring to show off their waistcoats. It was only towards the end of the era that wool and cotton became more common for daywear and waistcoats began to match the jacket and trousers.

Trousers
Trousers were worn fairly high on the waist and flat-fronted. They were held up by suspenders and were often patterned. Stripes and checks were common. While many consider that such patterns were only worn by younger, less sophisticated men, the fact is that most men considered them very fashionable.

Hats
All men wore hats at all times, in a wide variety of styles. The top hat was the only style acceptable for parties and other formal events – this persisted well into the 20th century. It was also worn by high-ranking men during the day, to denote their place in society.

Other popular hats were pork pies, derbies and bowlers. These grew in popularity so that, by the end of the era, they were the most popular and were not supplanted until the fedora in the 1920s.
