If you can wear heavyweight denim during a Spanish summer my hat goes off to you Jonny
I personally would melt. I could never wear denim in Melbourne over summer - 40+ degrees and denim don't mix, unlike 40+ degrees and swimming pools and ice cold beer.
It was late summer Smithy but still warm, let me give you a idea, it's nearly December and today is 58f haha I stayed a lot in the shade though, peak summer was 46cIf you can wear heavyweight denim during a Spanish summer my hat goes off to you Jonny

I'm guessing was about 30c still a tad warm, it was our medieval yearly market, feel for the guys doing the reenactment and jousting in armour next to the palace ooof

Once you start getting over 35 it starts getting uncomfortable, over 40 bloody awful. We hit 47 or 48 during Black Saturday with the bushfires back in 2009 but the scariest was the ambient temperature was that but it was blowing a gale and the wind was even hotter. Never experienced that before and never want to again.
Problem with Oz with when it gets seriously warm is all the snakes and insects start moving around more too.

Almost exclusively paper boy caps in Harris Tweed.
I started wearing a hat wears ago when Mother Nature played her cruel joke on me and from having hair down to my elbows I became the first male in my family with a bowling ball for a head.

Wouldn't pairing an A2 jacket with a fedora hat look old-fashioned? Won't this look like a parody of Indyne Jones?Old fashioned? You mean like an 80 year-old flight jacket design?

Black Saturday was the worst weather thing I have experienced, just horrific and the only time that I have ever felt a wind warmer than the ambient temperature and in such hot conditions.
The radiant heat from the fire fronts was so hot that gum trees were exploding into flame 250 metres in front of the actual fire. And it was moving so fast because of the wind that people couldn't outrun it even in a car - I'll never forget those horrific photos of burnt out cars with people inside them who couldn't drive fast enough to beat the fire.
