We love seersucker. A puckery cloth traditionally woven of 100% cotton in white and pastel stripes, it’s an American hot-weather classic, and we’ve been making and enjoying Summer sportswear in seersucker fabrics for decades. Yet this is something different - something that wasn’t even possible a few years ago.

If you’ve been following for a while, you know we’ve been talking about this cloth each Summer since 2016. The good folks at Loro Piana created this featherweight six-ounce seersucker cloth from 90% high-twist 150s worsted wool (for springiness and breathability) and 10% silk (for luster). If you have to wear a tailored jacket in the heat of summer, this may well be the single best fabric on the market. With a refreshingly crisp hand, it wears all day without wrinkling, and is naturally cooling against the skin as its puckery weave is especially conducive to air flow.

Since we first made this up as an unconstructed custom jacket several years back, it’s become the best-selling cloth in the history of the company by far. Regulars come back each season for different colors and models, and old favorites like the solid off-white feel like collectors pieces after the cloths are dropped from the collection without warning.

Evoke the classic navy blazer with brass or gunmetal buttons, or opt for riviera blue with mother-of-pearl buttons that pop like whitecap on waves. Add on a pair of matching trousers and you’ve got the summer’s coolest suit.

Last season we laid in a stock of the classic navy colorway, making it possible to offer this unconstructed garment to our made-to-measure clients for about half the price of custom. This year we have solid black as an exclusive, having commissioned a piece from Loro Piana to be woven expressly for us.

Take a look at the swatches and finished garments below, and let us know if you’d like to chat about how to make this seersucker your own.
