Having a suit made for Southern weather. Advice welcome. /u/teawar /r/malefashionadvice

I have a wool navy suit I had made when I lived in San Francisco that’s really only suitable for the few months of the year here in Georgia where it’s not stiflingly hot and humid.

I’m in the planning stages for my next suit. I’ve researched poplin, linen, and lightweight cotton materials and their strengths and weaknesses.

The local tailor here simply recommends a slightly lighter weight charcoal suit.

Anything else I should look into? The tailor is an older guy who seems to know his stuff. He talked me out of getting a second seersucker (the one I have now has a jacket with too thick of a lining), or a tan cotton suit, since they’re really only suitable for specific seasons and I’m better off spending my money on suits I can wear year round.

Sorry if this is really more of a r/navyblazer question.
