Anyone seeing seersucker?
By: Danny Jacobs
I was walking through Circuit Court in Towson today when I passed a gentleman wearing a seersucker jacket. I complimented him, naturally, but it got me thinking again about the legendary but elusive ”Full Towson,” the summer suit accessorized by white shoes and a white belt. The Full Towson, you could say, has become my white whale.
I’m keeping my hopes realistic this summer of spotting a Full Towson. But if you see one, or any white linen or seersucker for that matter, please let me know.
(Bonus points if you see anyone sporting the three-piece seersucker suit, a la noted defense lawyer Atticus Finch, left.) Photos are welcome.
Actually, a highly respected member of the bar here in Baltimore City – his initials are PMS and I doubt he minds being outed here – dons the three piece seersucker with some regularity during the summer. And looks damn fine in it, if I may say so myself.
Perhaps that was the man I saw outside of Java Joe’s on E. Baltimore street yesterday. He was wearing a complete seersucker suit with white shoes, but I didn’t notice if was wearing a white belt. It was funny, because I had read this post yesterday morning and the first time I left the office after reading it, I saw this guy.
