Zegna Promises a Sweatproof Suit for $1,200

After what felt like weeks of 90-plus-degree temps on the East Coast, the heat has broken a bit, but you know it's coming back. Gentlemen, it may be time to invest in one of Zegna's sweatproof suits. NYC free paper amNewYork test-drove the suit, which was made by Mohan's Custom Tailors in NYC for $1,200 and is made with Australian wool, 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.

No doubt this suit would come in handy in other hot climes, like New Orleans, Miami, Phoenix, D.C., or (your hot city here).
