Milk & Sugar

Seersucker is a staple of preppy summer suits, but we think it's perfect for bow ties.  

Seersucker is an all-cotten fabric woven to pucker so that it does not directly on the skin, allowing for dissipation and air circulation, i.e., keeps the wearer cool when the heat rises.  The name comes from the Hindiustani, "kheer aur shakkar," which literally means milk and sugar (after the contrasting texture of the weave, which is both smooth like milk and bumpy like granulated sugar).
