What is Seersucker? A puckered cotton fabric with alternating smooth and crinkled stripes, used in warm-weather clothing.
Seersucker is a cotton fabric with a distinctive puckered texture, created by tension differences between adjacent warp threads. The puckered structure holds the fabric away from the skin, maximizing airflow. Seersucker is a hot-weather staple — suits, shirts, and shorts. Classic Southern American summer fabric.
