A Send-Off for Seersucker

     I've always loved seersucker, ever since my mom introduced me to it by way of a pair of J. Crew gingham shorts over a decade ago.  Fortunately for me, Austin offers plenty of days of hot weather that give me an excuse to wear one of my favorite weaves.  Being a stickler for season appropriateness, I will be shelving my seersucker garments come the first day of Fall.  To mark their temporary departure from my wardrobe, I decided to take some shots showing my stripes (and whimsical, warm weather colors.) 

What Am I Wearing?
   -Ray-Ban Original Wayfarers in Tortoise
   (I bought mine here.)
   -Pink and blue medallion pocket square (bought at Nordstrom Rack)  
   -Brooks Brothers Madison Fit Seersucker Sports Coat
   (This is the closest to it left on their website.)
   -Brooks Brothers Traditional Fit Washed Oxford in Pink
   (No longer available.  Sorry!)
   -Omega Seamaster Professional chronometer watch (Model #2531.80)
   (My model is no longer in production, but here's the closest, modern approximation: Model #2220.80.)
   -Brooks Brothers Football Leather Briefcase
   (You can get your own here.)
   -JC Penney St. John's Bay Straight Fit jeans
   (Follow this link to see JC Penny's selection of St. John's Bay jeans.)
   -Bass Linwood Weejuns penny loafers in 75th Anniversary Sombra Seahorse brown
   (My particular shoes went the way of the dodo, but here's the link to the Bass website.)
