A reader wrote a week or two ago asking about the propriety of seersucker neckties. I replied that I hoped they are OK because I wear them in summer. Here's an example.
The necktie in the photo is a nicely puckered 65% silk and 35% cotton seersucker from Nicky of Milan, and I wish it was easier to find more of that blend as I like my ties a bit narrower these days. The silk adds a lustre that isn't present in pure cotton neckties. It's paired with a blue end on end shirt, a pocket square of gold silk and a black and white tropical weight suit. On the feet, distinctly American saddle shoes.

I didn't even know that seersucker neckties existed, but now I've got to find some. And Will, where did that excellent pocket square come from?
The square is by Holland & Holland.
Alexander Olch has some cotton seersucker ties but he's asking a lot for pure cotton.

Very sharp looking, Will.
Did you ever get those Thomas Mason plaids that you posted on February 13th. A number of us wanted to see them in action.

That's the first decent seersucker tie I've seen. It's really quite lovely! Was it your choice to narrow the business end of the knot, or is that the function of the material in this particular tie?
I like your perfectly made dimple!
I bought a GREAT seersucker tie from "H", a concept store by Tommy Hillfiger. -green and white seersucker with lavender embroidered mosquito.
