Are there any seersucker suits that are canvassed?

Probably most are. In any event, some surely are. Mine is. And it's cheap.

I never have own a seersucker suit. As I have gotten older my tastes have changed. In my 20's I would have never considered one, now in my early 40's they look classy to me. An suggestions on brands? Brooks Brothers, J. Press, Saks Fifth Avenue house label?

Brooks and Haspel are the kings of the market. Neither one is very high quality but they work.

Sierra Trading Post has the Haspel in your size for half-price ($150).

I was under the impression all the old brooks/haspel wash-and-wear suits were canvased.

Why would you want a canvassed seersucker suit? Unlined and unstructured seersucker looks best in my opinion.
