The men's seersucker shirt, milk and sugar
The word seersucker comes from Persian shir o shakar, "milk and sugar": the sugar for the grainy relief, the milk for the smooth bands. This light cotton was born in India, from where it was exported to Europe in the 17th century, and has served since to dress the great heat; from the Victorian era to the early 20th century, it was also used for bedding and summer nightshirts. In the United States, it is best known in blue and white stripes. This men's seersucker shirt keeps the tradition: fine sky-blue and white stripes, and the pucker that makes the whole cloth.
- Material: 100% cotton seersucker, 135 g/m², permanent pucker from the weave
- Stripes: sky and white, about 2 mm
- Collar: button-down, 6.5 cm points, 4 cm collar stand
- Buttons: genuine mother-of-pearl
- Origin: pre-washed, made in Morocco
Cut and sizing
A cut with measured ease, hip length, worn untucked or tucked in. From S to 2XL. Take your usual size; for a closer fit, go down a size. To measure your half chest, run a tape measure under the armpits, around the chest, and divide by two; the size guide helps you compare.
How to wear a men's seersucker shirt
Over a beige chino or a navy chino, untucked, sleeves rolled up. With military bermuda shorts in high summer, for a light outfit without looking sloppy. Under a light work jacket, button-down collar closed, when the evening cools. Open over a white T-shirt, it becomes a summer overshirt.
Care
Machine washable at home: 30 °C (86 °F) inside out, short cycle, mild detergent with no bleaching agent, and separately the first few times, because dyed cotton bleeds slightly. No tumble dryer and no fabric softener. Air dry in the shade, hung: the pucker resets itself.
A pucker that comes from the weave
The relief is not a finish. In weaving, some warp threads are held taut while others stay slack: the slack bands pucker, the taut bands stay flat. The pucker is therefore permanent, and it holds the cloth slightly away from the skin when it is hot. The cotton, at 135 g/m², is pre-washed to stabilise the cloth. The stripes measure about 2 mm, in a pale, desaturated sky; the texture is what you read most. Here, the iron has nothing to correct.
Patina and durability
In three years, this seersucker will never have seen an iron.
Seersucker comes from Persian shir o shakar, "milk and sugar": the sugar for the relief, the milk for the smooth bands. This 135 g/m² cotton, born in India, has dressed great heat for centuries. Its pucker comes from the weave, not from a finish: it doesn't wash out. Here is how it lives.
-
firm material, solid color, clean finishes.
-
the piece softens where it works the most.
-
wear creases mark themselves and return from one wear to the next.
-
follow the composition instructions; excessive heat and tumble dryers are to be avoided.
-
borders and friction zones soften first.
-
the color shades with use, without aging all at once.
-
the piece is made: supple, familiar, always holding.
-
a seam, a button, a snag is mended in the workshop.
-
nearly three years: a well-kept piece gains in character what it loses in newness.
It is the summer shirt that needs no ironing and doesn't cling to the skin. Sky stripes, mother-of-pearl buttons, button-down collar: effortless elegance, even at 35 degrees.
A button-down collar and mother-of-pearl buttons
The button-down collar has 6.5 cm points, buttoned at the front, and a 4 cm collar stand at the back for a clean line. The buttons are genuine mother-of-pearl, the iridescent lining of some shells, which takes the light differently from resin. A 10.5 × 12.5 cm patch chest pocket, with no flap, completes the shirt. The topstitching is done at 5 stitches per centimetre. The shirt is made in Morocco.
