Could anyone recommend any sources for plain (monochrome) seersucker fabric ? Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. I was searching for cotton.

I would add the Draper's dark navy which is lovely.

The Mare book has the exact shade of navy and white seeesucker in wool, silk, line blend that I have been looking for. It’s perfect, other than the weight. At 6.5 to 7 ounces, I’m sure my tailor won’t touch it.

Drapers has the weight I’m looking for, but the stripe is far too light in color

Don't be fooled by a pic, the Draper's seersucker is a true dark navy.

Here on Nicolas from Jean-Manuel Moreau.

Steven Hitchcock cut the lp seersucker for someone on Instagram. I forget his name. Old guy. He’s Steven’s model on his website.

I’ll have to ask Steven. I’m sure it was a b*tch of a cloth to work with. There can’t be much drape with a cloth that lightweight.

I had a wool/cotton seersucker made into a jacket by Whitcomb and Shaftesbury. It doesn't react well to having all the structure underneath. If I had to do it again, I'd try one of their ultra-soft versions.

Alright. Let's get a run of dark navy suiting 0129 Minnis Rangoon going. Will base it off of the OG version as pictured below. For those who are new to this, Rangoon is a discontinued suiting bunch from Minnis. It is a plain weave circa 280g that has a dry and smooth hand. Hangs very nicely for its weight. A good lighter weight alternative to the traditional Fresco which has a prickly hand and heavier. Please send me a PM if interested. Thanks!

A number of guys have asked for a dark grey 0126 Rangoon as well so I’m going to post it here to see if we can get a small run in along with the dark navy (which has met MOQ) and ship them both out ETA mid August. Please PM if interested. Will send orders to the mill by the end of this week. Thanks.

For reference, the grey below the proposed 0126 is Oxford grey. 0126 is a dark grey with mottling.

This is like Christmas morning. Pinch me!! Next thing you know, all of my wishes will come true with an undertaker’s solid black subscription along with this grey purple stripe.
