Seersucker is a classic staple that has its origins rooted in the days of the British Colonial period. When British Officers were placed in warm weather colonies, Seersucker would be issued so they were able to stay cool and dry. The bunched threads cause the fabric to keep away from the skin allowing faster heat dissipation. The shorts have a classic cut and a striped oxford waistband to the interior. The seams and belt loops are double stitched to hold together for years to come. We think that you will be as excited with your purchase as we are to offer them. This is your go to summer short.
