I like a nice comfortable seersucker sport coat.

Underrated? Linen is THE go-to in summer.

We know this, but some are uneducated.
If itās gonna be a sweat day, less formal, I swear by the Columbia-style fishing shirt fabric, whatever it is.
True, not all are as refined as we are.

Whenever I wear linen in DC in the summer, I swear itās a national event. Everybody going out of their way to make comments about it. A linen sport coat in a sea of dark blue suits. Heck, I will wear a linen Oxford as a part of my suit ensemble and it even gets comments.
Get a room!

Well, youāre in a company town. Wearing a light blue shirt is considered bold.
Is wearing anything other than a red tie and blue suit a firable offense?
Donāt wear a tan suit. The GOP will call you a communist.

The pearl-clutching about the tan suit was all I could think about when I saw the idiot standing there in his blue suit.
Iāve got a black blazer with fake brass buttons.
Thinking about replacing them with black ones.
Crazy talk?
Black Linen?
Iām sure itās made from the finest DuPont has to offer.

Nope, not at all. Brass buttons are only acceptable on a blue blazer.
Brass buttons are appropriate for any color of blazer. The question is why would you have a black one? Black is inherently formal and a blazer is inherently casual. Itās also probably the least versatile color you could have. So unless itās part of a uniform, and youāre required to wear it, Iād skip a black blazer altogether. Navy, of course, is the staple.
That said, if I was going to replace the brass buttons on a black blazer, I would not use black buttons. A blazer, by definition, should have contrasting buttons. Go with a grey or better yet, a buffalo horn, real or faux.
