The prototype will be in a light cotton poplin, which is a common material for summer business wear in Savannah. We're going to eventually do one in linen, another popular choice. Not so sure about the other common summer fabric for Savannah, seersucker.

Seersucker rocks. When I was practicing law in Atlanta, I was probably one of the last men to still wear it, certainly one of only a handful of guys my age who wore it. But it's so incredibly comfortable on a hot day. The only thing better would be wearing nothing at all.
I have kept my eye out for seersucker jackets at thrift stores that could be converted to kilt jackets, but they are rare, and have found none in my size.
