The Summer Brewery Fit

Wax London's Dean tee is $90 of well-made organic cotton jersey with a sailing club graphic that scores an honest 5/10 on versatility, which tells you exactly who it's for.

Taylor Stitch's Pacific Polo arrives pre-washed in rinsed indigo, cuts regular and true to size, and at $98 for GOTS-certified organic cotton pique it asks almost nothing of you while giving most of what you want from a warm-weather polo.

Wax London's Milton graphic tee runs 220gsm compact cotton at $90, and the back-graphic placement is either the whole point or a dealbreaker, depending on the kind of attention you want.

Reigning Champ's $48 lightweight jersey tee is made in Vietnam with flatlock seams and a regular cut, scores a 9 for layering, and is probably the most useful thing the brand makes at its lowest price point.

Drake's navy cotton-linen camp collar shirt is made at their own factory in Somerset, runs $375, and is a better shirt than you need unless you already know why you want it specifically.

Taylor Stitch's Davis Shirt in Indigo Raindrop Sashiko is a $128 organic cotton camp collar with double-needle felled seams and a sashiko weave that earns a second look without announcing itself.

Taylor Stitch's Hawthorne Shirt in Blue Pin Dot Dobby is a 7-oz. garment-washed organic cotton camp collar with felled seams and a flat hem, at $148, it's one of the more honestly constructed options in a crowded category.

Portuguese Flannel's Piquet Stripe is a $163 short-sleeve made in Guimarães from a waffle-textured cotton weave with woven stripes and mother-of-pearl buttons, and it makes a reasonable case for itself on construction alone.

Portuguese Flannel's Atlantico Stripe Shorts bring the family's Guimarães mill cotton into a $140 seersucker short that lands at a solid 7 on make quality and won't embarrass you on either end of the formality spectrum.

Taylor Stitch's 6 oz. garment-dyed hemp Après Short in Coal runs true to size, uses double-needle felled construction throughout, and costs $108 before any Workshop discount.

Wax London's Kurt shorts are 100% washed linen made in Turkey for $150: the fabric is softer than you'd expect from day one, the construction is functional rather than impressive, and the elasticated waist will limit how dressed-up you can take them.

Wax London's $150 Kurt shorts are garment-washed 100% linen in a relaxed cut that runs true to size — competent warm-weather basics, not travel shorts.
