Cloth Weight by Season: Building a Year-Round Wardrobe
Cloth weight is the quiet variable that determines whether a suit is comfortable or merely worn. A man who wears a heavy worsted to a July wedding will be uncomfortable. A man who wears a tropical wool to a January funeral will be cold. The cloth is correct or it is not, and weight is the largest factor.
The Wedding Suit, Considered
A wedding suit, for the man at the center of a wedding, is the most photographed garment of his life. It is also the garment that has to perform across more registers in a single day than any other suit he will own. It must look correct in stillness during the ceremony, in motion during the first dance, in proximity at every embrace, in detail during every photograph from sunrise to last call. It must be cool enough to survive a summer afternoon and warm enough to survive a winter chapel. It must reflect the formality of the occasion without overwhelming it. It must, above all, photograph well.

It cannot tell you whether his right shoulder sits a quarter-inch lower than his left, whether his neck angles slightly forward, whether he carries a fullness in the upper back that is not present in the lower, whether his weight rests on the balls of his feet or his heels.
