The coldest major city in America has the strongest case for a good suit

Minneapolis winters are not an inconvenience; they are a condition. And the standard advice — wear a warm suit — misses the point entirely, because you will be wearing a coat over it anyway. What actually matters is what happens indoors: the skyways, the heated offices, the restaurants. A suit that is too heavy is miserable for the twelve hours you are inside, and irrelevant for the eight minutes you are outside.

So the Minneapolis answer is a mid-weight wool — 260–300gsm — worn under a proper overcoat, not a heavyweight suit worn instead of one. Where weight genuinely pays is in flannel: soft, matte, warm, and the best-looking thing a man can wear in a Midwestern winter. Tweed too, which was made for exactly this.

The short, extraordinary summer

Minnesota summers are hot, humid and brief, and the city goes outdoors with an intensity that only comes from having earned it. Linen and cotton for June through August, unlined.

Weddings in the Twin Cities

Concentrated into a narrow window — May to October — and often on a lake. The Machine Shop, a barn out past Stillwater, an estate on Lake Minnetonka, the Basilica. Autumn weddings here are among the most beautiful in America and are the argument for a tweed or a wool in chocolate, rust or deep olive.
