seersucker suits

[Black Dahlia]

I happen to really like seersucker print and suits. However, there's no rule that the jacket and pants have to be worn together. I myself have a seersucker dress and jacket, but never wear them together.

Yes..infiltrating the gents section!

[bad] You stay out of here, Young Lady! Or else...:whip:







But seriously, I do wear my seersucker suits as separates much more often than as suits. And, I've also occasionally mixed different colors of seersucker; like a blue jacket with gray pants.

I'll go when I'm good and done.... lol

I bet that looks quite smart together, mixing different colours of seersucker. Show us pics!

I agree and wear the limited seersucker items I have separately.

I'm going...I'm going....

Different gauge stripes, much? When, if ever, does it start to clash?

Thank you...

This guy looks sharp!

Boy it was hot that day....

In that last pic, not only does the suit look great, but it's going a long way toward changing my mind on "optimo" style crowns.

Great suits, AlanC. I'm really curious about this tie, though. Where'd you get that?

 

[Black Dahlia]

Amazing suits pistolpete and AlanC! Perfect for summer weather.

Seersucker on sale at Syms

Try saying that ten times fast....

I was in Syms at Park and 54th in Manhattan - their Summer Bash sale started today and runs until July 5th. They have Haspel seersucker suits on sale for $89, jackets for $59. I think they're all 2 button with center vents, but I didn't look that closely, as I was shopping for my wife this time. They had blue, gray, and tan (or is it cream?). Also some even narrower pin-cord type material, mostly blue I think, same prices. If you're near the city and on the fence about seersucker, now's the time to jump...

Thanks for the kind words.

Both are made by the British firm Drake's. I purchased them at a consignment shop a couple of years ago.

 

[Spats McGee]

Well, you did very well, AlanC. Those are really sharp ties. I especially like the red one.

It’s the wrong season, but I picked up a couple of seersucker suits from Jos. A. Banks recently. I got the traditional blue, of course (and have yet to pick it up), and decided to get a red one as well. The red one fits great, and I can’t wait to wear it.

I’m probably going to mostly use the red as separates. I was thinking cream flannel trousers with the seersucker jacket, and possibly a natural linen jacket with the seersucker trousers.

Does that sound good, or would you make some other recommendation?

Also, what shirting materials are we normally pairing with seersucker?

Thanks,

Dave

Almost time to break out the seersucker. Huzzah!

I was mucking about yesterday and happened upon www.eSuit.com
They currently have Haspel 100% cotton seersucker suits on sale for $199 including delivery in the U.S. Single breasted with pleated or flat front trousers.

I purchased a tan and white seersucker which I have been coveting for some time, (I already have a traditonal blue and white seersucker). They also have grey and white seersucker. In addition they had some 100% tan or cream linen suits in various sizes for the same pricing.

Because it's supposed to be eighty degrees today, I broke a personal rule and wore the jacket from my new seersucker suit a few days early:

Not seen in this photo are off-white chinos and dirty bucs (replete with ink spots from dropping a fountain pen nearby, grr!).

I am holding fast to Sunday for introducing straw hats into rotation, though.

Get the cuffs and wear whatever shoes you like, preferably somewhat traditional in construction.

Here's mine, a genuine Haspel. (Not shown: yellow socks matching tie.)
