The old timers wear long sleeved cotton shirts in this weather. Supposed to keep you cool. I'm old, and wore long sleeve shirt all day Friday, 95ish degrees. Morning cool, son-in-law and I cut & loaded his pickup & trailer with firewood from logs I saved him. Afternoon was stinking hot & humid, helped friend put up hay. I was mostly in barn. Today, the 4th, wife & are taking the day off and attending two family picnics. My typical summer wear is a lightweight cotton, long sleeve shirt in a light color and a wide-brimmed hat. I start out in the spring with a T-shirt and ball cap but by mid-June my forearms and the back of my neck are starting to look like Slim Jims. The LS shirt and wide hat are definitely cooler than a T and ball cap. And it keeps the sun off me (one reason it's cooler). Oh, and I could be considered an old guy at 62.
Eh...wot?

While riding I would actually catch a chill.

^ I have been fencing and picking wild berries the last few weeks. I wore light long johns a few days and always have long sleeve, high collar sweater type shirts or a hooded sweatshirt with hood up and tied.
When down on river bottom it helps with mosquitos and the long johns for ticks. Socks need to be up over the pants also.
It has been hot but to me it does keep you cooler instead of having the sun beat down on bare skin. It does keep heat out of body keeping skin covered. IMO
Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime
