Just bought my 3 pieces suits seersucker at Macys by Ralph Lauren. I chased them until they were on sale for $160. I will definitely wear them in the summer and I can't wait.
I wasn't sure how to ask you this, but in the How to Wear Men’s Waistcoats & Odd Vests guide you have 4 pictures of you wearing the same jacket, and I was wondering where you got it from?
I've always been curious about seersucker suits, but the big issue is that they're not very readily available in Australia unfortunately. I find this quite peculiar because most cities in Australia get quite hot in the summer so seersucker would be quite practical. I might have to look a little harder so I can get myself a seersucker suit by the time our summer comes around. Thanks for the great information.
White bucks with the blue and white is classic. I purchased a bespoke tan seersucker suit at Bonham Strand in Hong Kong, which pairs nicely with Mark McNairy dirty bucks. I consider the dirty bucks to be more versatile, as they also look great with a pair of skinny jeans, white Oxford shirt and navy blazer. Makes for a comfortable, good-looking traveling outfit, too!
I'd say another nice hay to wear with seersucker is a Milan straw hat. It has a lot more texture than a panama. Some hat makers can also dye the straw. The only thing is is that I've only found one hat shop in the US (outside of Amish country) that makes them out of the traditional wheat straw. The shop is VS custom hats. I've been to the shop and it is just amazing being able to see everything.
love all of your videos, and this one in particular...since I am retired & no longer wear suits, have had many and I mean many seersucker shirts in all colors & designs made...my favorite shirt is a popover with half zip, rolled collar & 2 chest packets with buttons...have them embroidered with some sort of crests & my initials in various designs & configurations...they wash beautifully & are perfect for the New York summer hot & humid weather...my nick name is "Mr. Seersucker"....
...I think Haspel makes suits & as I said, I no longer wear suits...but have lots of seersucker shirts made & wear & love them in the hot & humid NY summer weather....
Be very careful when buying garments purporting to be made from "seersucker". I recently bought a blue, narrow-stiped "seersucker" jacket and trousers from a well-known online made-to-measure outfit out of China. (Yes, I know it's risky). I chose the featured design because the rest of their range of seersucker fabrics look like pyjamas - with comically-wide stripes. At any rate, I discovered way too late that their "seersucker" fabric was actually made from 97% polyester and 3% spandex. I do not wish to wear garments made from plastic; nor does my pet rabbit. To their credit, the vendor refunded the entire purchase when I complained about sketchy fabric descriptions (even though "seersucker" fabric can in fact lawfully be sold whether it's made from cotton or any other material). Good for them.
Picked up a white short sleeve button down seersucker shirt from Barbour and it’s my new favourite casual summer shirt, will be looking for more seersucker for sure.
I love Your videos. You were a suit yet you can make it casual enough to were it everywhere. Could you make video about styles that suit Brown or black men ( the color combination , etc ) pleasssseeeee
My father had two suits that I thought were seersucker, but they weren’t cotton. Vertical stripes like the seer but was a little heavier and probably polyester as he bought them in the ‘70s. He had a red one and a blue one. The color was deeper and the white was on top. Still curious what that is.
Hello, I was wondering if it is acceptable, or traditional, to wear a different color seersucker sport coat with different color seersucker odd trousers? When you wear seersucker pants, and a jacket, must it be a suit? Off topic, but same with tweed.
Pls help me. Just my one question. We have received grye fabric with sear sucker efact but we have To do in the dying process so I received fabric after dying without sear sucker efact. So pls help what I do for back to come sear sucker efact in the fabric.
Is it appropriate to wear this suit out of season? I live in San Francisco generally it’s not very hot here and it doesn’t snow or get very cold either but I really like these and want to get one but just dont know how practical it would be
Could I wear a wool v neck sweater, navy blazer and seersucker trousers?.Or would it look disarranged like a parka with a snorkel, or a bikini and snow shoes? Since the seer sucker is a summer outfit and a sweater is for cooler weather
Does anyone have an experience with seersuckers jackers from j.crew and/or j. Crew factory?? Curious if it is worth it considering it would be worn in warmer weather maybe i can get some good longevity from it. Any advice and input is much appreciated
Just a comment in hopes of learning: I was thinking that your deep red-ish tie was a bit too dark to be combined with an iconic summer blazer. Not a criticism, but a curious comment. Can I have a few words on it, Raphael? Wouldn't a lighter color be much more pleasing summer choice?
Bright colourd may not provide enough contrast. He's wearing a knit tie so it has a open weavez allowing the breeze to pass through it. Personally, I think his tie looks rather fetchingz with the two tone effect
Good Advice! I picked up one the other day from Tailorbyrd. Not great off the rack but my tailor today said he'll fix it. The coat is quarter lined and is in the plebeian blue/white with notch lapels.
New subscriber. LOVE your channel. There was something peculiar that I could not figure out until now ... you have a stylish classic taste, an aristocratic creativity to style, and a perceptive eye all of which - and this is what I just realized - you personify your talents because frankly (sorry) your physical appearance ie face/build are rather ordinary or even mundane to below average but your overall look is very classy, sophisticated.
I was just thinking that seersucker suits have become to uncommon to be worn. My friend wore one to a garden party and everyone called him an ice cream man. Unfortunately, much like ascots, the seersucker suit has fallen too far out of favor to be worn, unless you are at a specific fashion event. I know that some will disagree, I just don't want people to be fun of. It happened to me when I worn an ascot to a dinner party and I have never worn one since.
I have a seersucker sitting in my closet, never worn, recently bought, waiting for the warm weather to come. It's such a stunning piece. Functional too. If someone asked if I had ice cream, I have "more than just ice cream" ;) Be part of the fun.
Try looking into pincord suits. They're just like seersucker except the stripes are skinny pinstripes. Comes in blue tan grey and navy. They're more dressier.
