Top Ten Preppy Essentials: #6 Black Fleece Seersucker Sport Coat

Brooks Brothers Black Fleece Seersucker Jacket, $900

Of all the fabrics in the land, seersucker just might be the prepster’s favorite. It’s nice and light so it’s perfect for all those summers in the Hamptons and the light blue color will match up superbly with all of those pastel colors that dominate their wardrobe. But not all seersucker is created equal–and you should never underestimate the discriminating eye of the prep.

So who makes the prepster’s seersucker? Well, it should be no surprise that the answer to that question would be Brooks Brothers. Brooks Brothers and the prep have special bond, and the bond became a little more special when they brought Thom Browne in to design their Black Fleece line. His expertise is visible in pieces like his Seersucker Cut-Away Classic Jacket. With a nice trim cut, full canvas construction, and genuine mother of pearl buttons, this puppy is for the prepster that takes his style seriously.
