Single Breasted Notch Lapel Suit in Brown Seersucker

Cad & The Dandy · £1,200

A muted brown cotton seersucker suit with a puckered texture, shown on a model from the front.

Nice, but provisional

Cotton seersucker, whose puckered weave holds the cloth off the skin so air moves underneath it, woven here with a little stretch and cut on the same hand-built floating canvas. It is the coolest thing in this category to actually wear and the least versatile thing to own. A muted brown is the sensible way to buy seersucker, which otherwise announces itself from across a lawn.

For
Someone with a summer of garden parties and a wardrobe that can carry a specialist.
Not for
Anyone counting suits. At £1,200 this is a lot of money for July.

Marked provisional: the justification rests on 1 source(s); two independent ones is the bar. We publish it anyway and say so, rather than waiting for evidence that may never arrive.
