White Seersucker Camp Collar Short Sleeve Shirt

This is Drake's version of the camp collar holiday shirt, a short-sleeved warm-weather shirt that has appeared under many names over the decades. Drake's keeps the form simple: an open collar, a loose cut with a plain front and a square, straight hem. It is made in Somerset from a light white cotton seersucker and is meant to be worn untucked in high summer.

Madaket White Solid Seersucker

We chose a white solid cotton seersucker of similar light weight to match the colour and the puckered texture of the original. We set a soft one-piece collar to give an open, camp-style neckline, with short sleeves, a straight hem and mother of pearl buttons. Proper Cloth makes seersucker only with soft, unfused collars and cuffs, which suits this kind of shirt. Our version differs in a few details: it has a French front, a turned-back cuff on the short sleeve, an angled chest pocket and a one-piece yoke.

Madaket is a lightweight 100% cotton seersucker in plain white, woven from 40s yarns. The puckered surface keeps the cloth from lying flat against the skin, which lets air move under the shirt in hot, humid weather. It is made up with soft, unfused construction.
