It really is fabric plus construction. Less clothes doesn't necessarily make you cooler. Think about what dessert people wear. They don't go around naked, they are covered in a way that is actually cooler

I agree with the desert folks' garb of big airy clothing to keep the sun off your skin (think bedouin clothing) - but Havanna? it's humid af - I don't know if any clothing will help with the humidity - especially a tighter/good fit suit like this fella.

I learned this running a country store surrounded by farmers. Long sleeves and pants with a hat keeps the sun off your skin so you cool down faster and helps prevent skin cancer in the long run. They would also say hot coffee helped them cool down, but I still argued it was because they’ve been up since 4am (we opened at 5:30am)

Though, I still couldn’t wear long sleeves when doing construction work. 😂

A non lined, linen suit will not be that uncomfortable to wear in that kind of environment. I've done it.

Modern synthetics don't breathe like hand made natural fibre suits.

There was a post in r/100yearsago where men said that it was actually really uncomfortable to wear straw hats and it would make them sweat like crazy, but they had to wear it anyway because the other option was wearing winter hats. You can also notice that around this time women wore very light and short dresses so the ''it was just cold back then'' idea goes out of the window.

I think that's nonsense. I wear a straw hat when kayaking in the hottest/sunniest months and it beats any other option.

Straw hats are specifically designed for hot weather. The gaps in the straw make them breathable.

A lot of it had to do with style at the times. There was a picture a while back on here of a man in some league to change mens dress or something like that with shorts and a linen button up with all the men in their 3 pieces staring at him like an alien

This is perhaps the #1 piece of evidence in favour of global warming.

Cuba is an example of how you cannot buy 'cool'. The people are mostly dirt poor and yet always stylish in both clothing, accessories and many have this amazing humour with a heavy dash of sarcasm.

Well said. Being cool doesn't mean adorning one's self with branded, high end attire and accessories. It means "putting yourself together".

And, no, you don't even have to be a "pretty" person either. Just deliberate with looking your best. Like this is how I want the world to remember me. Even if you don't agree with the attire, it's clear to see when someone put thought into what they wear, because they like it. And, if I have the organic opportunity to complement them on that, I do. Even if not my own personal taste.

But I'm not gonna make it weird.

I'd be a sweaty mess. But maybe without ever having AC, he's acclimated to the heat. Some people sweat less too.

He's fly as fuck too.

Unfortunate that nice hats aren’t a common thing anymore. A fedora is now just a meme.

Call me a racist or whatever, because simply judging this man by his image, I expect he was one hell of a dancer!

Looks like Joe Morton before he took off the white suit and out on a black one for Blues Brothers 2000.
