Speaking of which...
I've been thinking, half in earnest, half in jest, about writing a murder mystery set in the 1920s, about a washed-up alcoholic (who is of course closely modelled after myself) who ends up on a backwater tropical island where he fights evil. Not sure if that's going to be human crime or supernatural stuff, like Cthulhu's spawn crawling over the coral reef... In any case, for that sort of stuff you need SJC cellular cotton polos!!!!

Sean Longden: You can get them here in two varieties: http://onlinemilitaria.net/shopdisplaypr...archfields=
They are, unfortunately, rather sweaty in hot weather...

I have also worn the 'bags' pattern cream flannels and they are quite comfortable in hot weather. They have pros and cons compared to cotton. I find them quite airy, partly because of the voluminous legs, but they are obviously a bit warmer than chinos. On the other hand wool doesn't absorb moisture readily and so they feel less sticky in the heat.

I've been wearing the cotton Ellingtons a lot lately, and found them very comfortable in the hot and humid weather. They work splendidly with striped T-shirts and Deco polos.
I had nearly given up on the cotton Ellingtons as they had shrunk considerably in length after the first wash, but I found an alterationist who I trusted to do false turnups. She's worked wonders ![]() ![]() Are the 2017 chinos the same ones that eare featured in that SJC dancing video on Youtube? If these ever come back I'd like one pair each in cream and navy.

I was wearing the blue 2017 'chinos' on Saturday. Yes, they were very nice trousers. They are my summer staple.

The 2017 chinos have been the best - high waist, roomy, baggy - perfect.
