What is Tattersal?
I have been injured and swamped with finals coming up.
But in the mean time I fell in love with this look. From The Sartorialist
Loose, cool and suave. Try it on, and don't forget your animal print tie for a bit of pizazz.

Here in New England it is in the 80's with high humidity so I went looking for good tips for warm weather. I found the best advice from Ask Andy About Clothes
He said it best so I have just copied it here, but please visit his site as it has gobs of useful information.
The official summer season in the USA is from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Those are the days my friends, between which you can legitimately wear traditional summer garb such as linen, sandals and white. I have had questions from gentlemen in England about this! The same England that set in concrete most men’s clothing rules!! But their holidays are different. So if you're not in the USA go with the summer dates (this year the dates are June 21 to September 23) and you will be close.
Of course, where you are has some bearing on the matter. In the tropics, you can lengthen the time you wear a white dinner jacket. But if you’re in Palm Springs in January, even if it’s 80 degrees, you look a little silly in a tank top. Dress for the weather but also be cognizant of the season.
Use common sense; you wouldn’t automatically wear your tweed jacket the day after Labor Day if you lived in Florida or Southern California.
Summer is no excuse to dress like a beach bum! Shorts and a tank top are not the most flattering attire. If you’re dining in a fine restaurant having to look at someone dressed accordingly might even spoil your meal!!
Dressing appropriately is about respecting your fellow human beings and their institutions, like a restaurant, not thumbing your nose at manners and common courtesy for the sake of being comfortable.
Commuting to work in your suit on a 90-degree day is not a pleasant experience. The human body sweats! You want to feel cool and comfortable and still look like you mean business.

The Sartorialist has a wonderful post of a man in a 35 year old suit. This is how to wear an old suit.

After thinking about this cap for over a month I finally did it! I bought the Barbour Wax Cap. I love hats, as you may have figured out by now and this one is just perfect for my country life and for the summer. I love it so much I am ignoring all the rules of hat wearing and wearing it practically day and night. I got mine from Orvis, however it is only available as a retail item right now.
This is a classic style hat which I highly recommend.
