Sky & Cream Seersucker Suit

Woven by Solbiati of Italy, this is the real McCoy—authentic seersucker, puckered and perfect—is distinctively different from its cheap imitators. Ever since the original cotton fabric found its name in English from the Hindustani, which in turn was a derivation of the Persian words “shir o shekar”, translated as “milk and sugar” (probably from its resemblance to the smooth texture of milk and bumpy texture of sugar), true seersucker has been distinguished by its wrinkled appearance, caused by a weave that bunches threads together. This weave results in the fabric sitting away from the body, allowing for better air circulation, and dissipation of heat, and the lack of necessity to press the fabric, regardless of humidity. Seersucker has always been a mainstay of southern gentlemen, in a muted powder blue and cream stripe, which speaks of summer comfort and style. Size 50-R jacket with single vent; size 44 plain front trousers.
