have you ever heard of a fabric named seer-sucker?

Answer 1

Seersucker is a thin, all-cotton fabric, commonly striped, used to make clothing for summer wear. Seersucker is woven in such a way that some threads bunch together, giving the fabric a wrinkled appearance in places. This feature causes the fabric to be mostly held away from the skin when worn, facilitating improved heat dissipation and air circulation. The wrinkled look also ensures that seersucker clothing will look good even when worn by people working in hot weather. It also means that ironing is not necessary. Seersucker was first used in the U.S. by the working class but was later adopted by the upper classes and became a staple of attire for the Southern gentleman.

Common items of clothing made from seersucker include suits, shorts, and shirts. The most common colors for it are white and blue, however it is produced in a wide variety of colors, usually alternating colored stripes and puckered white stripes.

Seersucker is made by slack-tension weave. The yarns are wound onto the two warp beams in groups of 10 to 16 for a narrow stripe. The crinkle stripe may have slightly larger yarns to enhance the crinkle. The stripes are always in the warp direction and ongrain. Seersucker is produced by a limited number of manufacturers. It is a low-profit, high-cost item because of its slow weaving speed. Seersuckers are made in plain colors, stripes, plaids, checks, and prints. Seersucker is used in curtains and summer suiting, dresses, and sportswear.

Seersucker was originally developed in India. The word originates from the Hindi, Urdu, and Persian words "shir o shakar" meaning "milk and sugar."

Seer sucker is a striped (usually) cotton fabric in which the stripes have a raised alternating texture. It's funny you should ask because a gentleman just walking in weating a blue seer-sucker shirt.

Answer 5

Yes it is a fabric that rather looks rumpled, or unironed. Very popular in fashion. It's name comes from some mispronunciation or spelling errors.

Originally, in the eighteenth century, seersucker was striped Indian cotton, the stripes being the identifying feature. You can tell that from the original name, the Persian shir o shakar, literally “milk and sugar”, in reference to what we would now call its candy stripes.
