    Just sayin'.

    I have this in green. And i'm gonna cop the whole suit 4 the summer.
    I've seen a lt blue seersucker yankee cap in my hood(might cop).
    This preppy staple hasnt been appropriated by the streets. Cats are rockin the polos and lacostes, but havent moved to the real prep schitt.
    Maybe wack ass Phat Farm might be tryin' to rep this but, whateva.

    Not feelin' the jacket with jeans and a polo shirt. A seersucker suit is dope though. Blue and white suit with a white shirt and nice tie. All good all day.

    Seersucker gets a definite yay!

    Madras less so. I understand that it's original popularity came from it being Indian. Consequently, you could wear madras without worrying about identifying yourself with a clan to which you didn't belong. Mostly a golfing thing, I think. Personally, I it's not my style, but a classic properly worn will always be an acceptable look.

    Seersucker also originates from the Indian subcontinent (and caught on in the gentrified circles of the Southern U.S. given the comfort afforded in humid, sweltering weather); as for Madras (not the city now known as Chennai in Tamil Nadu, but the cloth itself), myriad of color choices to behold should one traipse through the country...

    I remember doing a art hanging job at this beautiful beach house in the Hamptons.
    The owner came out in a full Patchwork Madras suit w/ matching fishcap, and cane.


    I thought that shit was crazy. Ive spent my childhood summers in the hamptons, and never seen that shit.

    chan - haven't seen much seersucker action yet but it's still not super warm up here. The pocket square is essential if you plan on rocking it w/o a tie, it gives it that air of sophistication.

    j crew has a seersucker suit this season, in several colours.
