Linen Shirts with Poplin Ties


I've come to love linen shirts in warm weather. Their texture gives them great visual interest and they breathe. What more can a man ask of his shirt?

The first photo is a small cream check with an Irish poplin necktie. I enjoy Irish poplin's sheen against the relative dryness of the shirt.


The second photo is a light blue checked linen paired with a tan and blue Irish poplin. Of the shirts I've packed for this trip, more than half are linen. And more than half of the accompanying neckties are Irish poplins. When you find something that works for you, work it hard.

The second photo is a beautiful combination. I may have to borrow that one. I bought a dark brown linen shirt from Purple Lable last month but had to return it because I wasn't comfortable in it. Too constricting. I think cotton works best for me.

P.S. May Iask the brand of the second striped tie? Thanks.

The second tie is a Sam Hober.
