Spence a question for you

Today you really only see short sleeve button downs as very casual. Wearing a tie with a short sleeve shirt is ok only if you're 16 and working at a grocery store...but it's a look I wouldn't be caught dead in.

Actually, you'll never see me wearing a tie without a sport coat or suit either.

I nearly always wear a coat for business, and I agree it's brutal, especially as I travel down south a lot. During the worst of times I'll actually take a coat, carry it around and quickly put it on if I need.

I'll look around and see what I can find.
