Summer is coming,and the heat also has broken a bit, but you know it's coming back. Gentlemen, it may be the time to invest in Zegna's sweatproof suits. NYC free paper amNewYork test-drove the suits, which was made by Mohan's Custom Tailors in NYC and price for $1,200. It is made with Australian wool, which is said to wick moisture and cool the skin.

While the tester noted he certainly felt cooler than in other suits, this suit is not a panacea: "It's not like I'm wearing an air conditioner," said Christopher Sabatini (at right), amNewYork's design director, who tested the anti-sweat suit in the subways, "but sweat is not rolling down my back." It took Sabatini 10 minutes to start sweating on the Penn Station platform; he said he would usually "be a flood" by then.

It is no doubt that this suits would come in handy in other hot climes, like New Orleans, Miami, Phoenix, D.C..
