With inland temperatures reaching 80 degrees F (27 C), it is time for lighter weight clothing in Northern California. The tweeds and heavy worsteds are put away, and replaced by tropical worsteds, cottons and linens.
In the photograph, the dry finish of a silk shantung necktie complements the sheen of a silk pocket square. Worn outside of town with an ivory voile shirt, a favorite brown cashmere and cotton suit, tan Cleverley slipons and an Optimo panama without which my head gets sunburned.

Oh, most satisfactory, Will. And you are right. A sunburn on the top of the head is no joke. Wearing a hat is not just stylish but healthful as well.
Always classic. Looks really good for beginning the summer wardrobe with a classic look.
I forgot my hat a few weeks back during 'Queens day' (a Dutch holiday) and got a sunburned head.
Well done, Will.
What's the proportion of cashmere to cotton? How do the two fibers compliment each other? Does this wear very cool?
Cheers,
Carl.
10% cashmere makes it softer and rumpled a little more instead of creasing.
