Seersucker is a thin, puckered, all-cotton fabric, commonly
striped or chequered, used to make clothing for spring and summer wear. The
word came into English from Hindustani (Urdu and Hindi), which originates from
the words "kheer aur shakkar", meaning "milk and sugar",
probably from the resemblance of its smooth and rough stripes to the smooth
texture of milk and the bumpy texture of sugar. Seersucker is woven in such a
way that some threads bunch together, giving the fabric a wrinkled appearance
in places. This feature causes the fabric to be mostly held away from the skin
when worn, facilitating heat dissipation and air circulation. It also means that
pressing is not necessary.
Common items of clothing made from seersucker include suits,
shorts, shirts, and robes. The most common colors for it are white and blue;
however, it is produced in a wide variety of colors, usually alternating
colored stripes and puckered white stripes slightly wider than pin stripes.
seersuckers are perfect for all categories of clothing ranging from tie's, shorts, suits/jackets or any combination of the three. Here are some more application of seersuckers.
