Our seersucker shirt

If you had to remember just one weave, just one fabric that represents the beautiful days, it would be seersucker. Its name comes from the Persian term "shir-o-shakar" which means "milk and sugar", echoing the double texture of seersucker , obtained thanks to its stripes: a part soft and smooth like milk and another slightly crumpled, "cracked" which recalls sugar. The term has since evolved to become the seersucker we know today.

The stripes of this fabric and its particular embossed appearance have a much more essential function than pure aesthetics. By playing on the relief, one stripe in front, another behind, the fabric becomes very airy, and remains at a distance from the skin, thus greatly facilitating the circulation of air and therefore the dissipation of heat.

Usually composed of blue and white stripes, seersucker is now available in many colors, such as green and white, or garnet and white. There are also plain models such as blue shirts or white shirts. For our first seersucker, we trusted the Frenchman Emanuel Lang, the European specialist in this beautiful material. Together, we chose to publish a great classic, always with this "twist" specific to the Hast style: subtle navy blue stripes with gray highlights, mixed with off-white which brings a vintage side to the whole.

To make sure you stay dry in this very summery model, we have chosen to add linen (18%), whose absorbent and thermoregulating properties are particularly sought after in summer. You should enjoy it.
