Back to track. They're not my cuppa, but I know some gents here love these things, and I guess they don't get much better than this: Belstaff made in Italy shearling jacket, it'll only cost you 2.400 €:

I have one but made in Angleterre and cost nowhere near that kind of money. They are great in the winter but probably not needed in a Mediterranean zone , especially at that price. .

Deal breaker for me too - unless I felt confident getting into it with a seam ripper!

I guess a skilled seamstress could do the trick. That or send a hitman to Brighton to "talk" Adam into a 3 pockets' version 

Send Tomas de Torquemada.  .you still got his phone number mi hermano.  .

Madras or otherwise that jacket looks great mate. I'd wear it in a second. Like the look of the shirt too fella. What's the story on that. Nice one.

Thank you! Jacket is vintage, picked it up maybe 7 years ago or so? Long sleeve shirt is DNA that I got a few months ago ( I think).

Nice one Brian , l love that 366 too , is that Stateside.  .

Today is National Seersucker day!
I have two pairs of seersucker strides, one odd jacket, one pair of shorts and a (rarely worn) suit all in blue-grey and white stripes. Also the navy tonal blazer I posted up recently.

It’s not really a west Coast thing it’s a southern states / Ivy / trad thing. Still seen very rarely over here. And on older blokes not young men.

I suppose , we all have our own opinions . .

I have 3 Seersucker jackets, but never had interest in the trousers. I guess wearing the trousers alone wouldn't be a bad look for some,  but wearing a entire suit looks too "Gatsby" to me...

I have seen seersucker suits , of the material of Brians jacket, worn well but I have only seen it done in SFO.  I don't know about the Gatsby thing but I think it looks better on a younger dude. 

The first time I saw a seersucker suit being worn, l was only a young Mod myself and thought it looked great . I went around for the rest of the day with the Peter Meaden line in my head - Wear ivy league jackets , wild buckskin shoes. .  I have never seen a seersucker suit for sale in these more temperate zones . .

I don't think they're difficult to come by in the sales of USA big brands like Brooks Brothers or Ralph Lauren, they usually sell seersucker suits every year; in USA -especially the southern states- the fabric is still popular, in fact there's a National Seersucker Day there! But I agree regarding younger chaps getting the most of those suits.

Exactly,  very much an American thing from my experience, and west coast American at that. ..
I wouldn't mind one but I suspect l'd rarely wear and I'm probably a wee bit old for one now but Woody was in a rather smart seersucker,  jaiket just about a month ago , looked very dapper . .
