Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

The seersucker is lightweight at 165 grams per linear metre but it’s strong enough for a jacket. The rest are all 250 grams and above and very rugged View attachment 1336802 View attachment 1336801 View attachment 1336803 View attachment 1336804 View attachment 1336805

Yeah I would agree with you usually. Linen beats cotton till I saw this

And speaking of seersucker, that one looks very special indeed although not really the traditional blue and white I am after. Are these cloths available or are you still investigating the source?

That indigo seersucker is beautiful. I've got a length of it on the shelf and I thought it would be a nice jacket, but it's so lightweight I think it'll be better as a shirt. Also, their sashi-ori is the best version of that cloth I've ever seen. I want it as sweatpants. Or an overcoat.

I have the seersucker. It’s the same weight as most standard seersucker thought slightly heavier. I feel the weave is tight enough to make an unlined unstructured jacket. Maybe without canvas even so you could wash it...I was thinking of a shawl dinner jacket in such a configuration

And yes for the sashi ori...I was considering a three patch sc or a field jacket

Looks a little funny to me made up as a sport coat. I think it's better suited to more workwear oriented styles. Bucket hat is cool, too.

For that indigo seersucker, Whitcomb & Shaftesbury are fooling around with an unstructured cut that could make a wonderful jacket.

Tofani soured this very traditional 100% cotton Italian seersucker for this commission. Very happy with it.

I had @Shirtmaven make me a safari jacket in navy seersucker last year, and I really love it. Fabric is from B&J in NY. Perfect for the weekends.
