With the temperature in the shade at 93F, and a dew point of 70F, naturally, thoughts turn to tweed! Not to wear of course, but rather to aid in envisioning a sublime season of crisp breezes, cool dark shade and gentle late afternoon light.

Not necessarily Flanderian recommended, but rather some provocative and thought provoking ensembles featuring lovely tweeds.

Those Specs were clearly made to pair with that Tweed, but alas, years back I decided to experiment with the compatibility of such frames with my face and as a pair of backup glasses for my Randolph Engineering Aviators. I got a lot of chuckles from friends and family members and a few inquiries as to when I had to be back at Hogwarts. They thought I looked like an aged out Harry Potter! Glad I still had my trusted Aviators. LOL. ;)

Round glasses don't look right on my face. Just had a new pair made as my prescription had changed. Now need some distance correction as opposed to my years of wearing them just to read. I wouldn't hang my glasses from a jacket pocket like that, however, as there is a great likelihood I'd forget they were there, bend over, and they'd fall to the floor.

The fabric pattern of that jacket really catches my eye and steals my sartorial heart. The orange tie struggles mightily to make a connection with the muted orange striping in the jackets fabric, but someone should have hit that tie with a much needed pressing before knotting it around the throat of that 'dressing dummy/mannequin!' However, I still quite like that jacket. ;)

I know it was posted for the cloth but having a tunneled waistband to accommodate the elastic side adjusters is bulky enough. putting belt loops on top of that would probably cause you to size up your belt. I wear suspenders with trousers like that. It's a hefty cloth and suspenders would keep the trousers from sagging.
