Pucker Up | Portuguese Flannel and Seersucker

Posted by Dray Walk on

For those of you who didn’t know, “Seersucker Thursdays” used to be a thing. In 1996 an American Senator created the day, for fellow congresspeople alike to wear Seersucker suits and dress pants each Summers' Thursday. Seersucker has an extensive history, becomingly hugely popular initially among the warm British Colonies like British India, to then reaching the US and being adopted by the South in their hot summers.

The lightweight fabric is formed when the fabric bunches together, creating the puckered effect, and so it doesn’t actually sit directly against the skin, which means it's super breathable and keeps you cool. And it doesn't stop there, one of the best advantages is that because of the texture, it doesn’t need to be ironed. Yes, it really is smart.
