What is seersucker?
Seersucker fabric is associated with a variety of cultures, from 18th century India to Northeastern American college culture.
It first gained popularity throughout India for its easy care and breathable nature making it ideal for tropics. Later when it was introduced to the United States, it became a symbol of the preppy style, originating from the traditions of elite Northeastern university-preparatory schools and the Ivy League universities.
Though conventionally crafted from pure cotton, seersucker now frequently incorporates polyester and elastane for enhanced stretch and resilience and reduced shrinking.
Cotton seersucker is often the eco-conscious choice and it's more absorbing than polyester blends.
