The Art of Summer Suiting: Stay Sharp & Cool with Harper + Jones Custom Menswear
When the temperatures rise, style doesn’t have to suffer. At Harper + Jones, we believe summer is the perfect season to elevate your wardrobe with custom menswear tailored specifically for warm weather. Our collection of lightweight summer suits blends breathable fabrics, smart design, and effortless sophistication—helping you beat the heat without compromising on polish.
Why Summer Suits Matter
Summer occasions often call for elevated style—from destination weddings and garden parties to rooftop meetings and resort dinners. But traditional wool suits can feel stifling in the heat. That’s where custom summer suiting steps in. Built with breathable materials and tailored with your lifestyle in mind, summer suits offer a comfortable yet refined solution for warm-weather dressing.
Fabric is Everything
The foundation of any great summer suit is the fabric. At Harper + Jones, we offer a curated range of lightweight, natural fibers ideal for summer temperatures:
Linen: A timeless choice known for its breathability and casual ease.
Cotton: Crisp, lightweight, and perfect for daily wear or more relaxed affairs.
Tropical Wool: Don’t be fooled by the name—this ultra-fine wool is designed for heat, offering structure without weight.
Silk and Silk Blends: Add a subtle sheen and smooth handfeel for special summer events.
Each suit is crafted through our Bench-Made® process, meaning it’s hand-cut, sewn, and finished to your exact specifications—ensuring both comfort and impeccable fit.
Summer Style, Your Way
Whether you're dressing for business or leisure, your summer suit should reflect your personality and lifestyle. Choose from a rich palette of seasonal hues—think light taupe, stone, dusty blue, or olive green—and pair with unlined or half-lined construction for maximum breathability.
Our clients often opt for:
Unstructured jackets for versatility and ease
Single-breasted suits with wider lapels for a modern yet classic silhouette
Soft-shouldered jackets for a relaxed, continental feel
Breathable dress shirts and lightweight custom trousers that move with you from day to night

Unlike off-the-rack options, every Harper + Jones garment is built just for you. That means you'll get:
Fabric weight and construction tailored to your climate
A personalized fit that flatters your body and enhances mobility
Styling details—like patch pockets, side tabs, and half-linings—that improve wearability and keep you cool
