Seersucker fabric
Seersucker, means "Milk and Sugar" in Persian. This image perfectly describes the appearance of the fabric .
Seersucker is a material that is both soft and smooth (like milk) but above all crumpled and “crunchy” (like sugar).
Seersucker
Seersucker became popular during the World War II in England when the first women US Marines chose it for their summer service uniform.
For what?
Because seersucker holds up slightly to distance from the skin , which facilitates the air circulation and so the heat dissipation.
Also, it benefits from a natural extensibility and he hardly wrinkles . No need to iron it! So it was a godsend for these women.
Then, a little later, at the beginning of the years 1950 , seersucker, strong in its success, quickly became the prerogative of student youth.
The fabric
Seersucker has therefore always been perceived as being a elegant fabric, comfortable to wear, easy to care for, timeless and modern.
Even today, members of the US Congress as well as the senators , wear seersucker third Thursday of June . This tradition of “Seersucker Thursday” allows everyone, of different body shapes and ages, to wear it.
Seersucker has a reassuring side because it is timeless.
You are probably wondering why there is so much enthusiasm for the seersucker ?
It's simple.
The embossed crumpled effect is achieved by the contraction of threads during the making of the fabric.
This technique makes it possible to obtain a fabric presenting not only a smooth appearance but also a “waffle” effect.
So it was for these aspects that I decided to make seersucker shirts for the very first time.
