Earn Your Stripes
Meet The Short Seersuckers
The Short Seersuckers are smart, striped, lightweight, and breezy: perfect for warm to hot days.
Seersucker is a textured type of fabric, often with a subtle stripe. Because the warp yarns that run up and down are interwoven at different tensions, a wrinkled effect appears during the finishing process. This natural wrinkled effect creates pockets of space that enhance air circulation and breathability making the fabric perfect for MR MARVIS shorts. The Short Seersuckers are handmade in Portugal from 100% organic cotton.
We selected four stunning colours to pair a white stripe: light blue, dark blue, light grey and subtle pink. These classic combo’s look as sophisticated today, as ever.
Milk & Sugar
Seersucker was invented in India and was named shir-o-shekar: milk and sugar. If you look closely at the texture of the two stripes you’ll be able to spot one smooth – milk – and one rougher – sugar – pinstripe.
Breathability and lightweightness are key characteristics of the fabric, making them popular in warmer climates including the British colonies early 20th century. Starting as fabric for the working-class, it later was embraced by dapper misters, actually for the same key characteristics: air circulation and breathability. Most likely you can now understand why seersucker and MR MARVIS shorts are a match made in heaven.
Why, When, and How to Wear
The Short Seersuckers are very easy-to-wear. The fabric is non iron because of the pre-wrinkled effect, which makes them perfect for travelling on long flights and road trips.
This variation on MR MARVIS’ The Originals is a great lightweight option for those long hot days and warm summer nights. Wear them poolside, on the coast or in the city: when you’re walking in the overwhelming heat you will appreciate these slim-fit shorts even more. Pair them with a shirt of complimenting material, casual to smart sneakers and your favourite sunglasses for a careless yet sophisticated summer look.
“The Short Seersuckers are a marvellous addition to your summer wardrobe.” - MR MARVIS

Layer up with our shirt jackets
Read moreShackets, also known as shirt jackets or overshirts, are a must-have in every man's wardrobe. Not quite a shirt, not quite a jacket, but the perfect mix of both. These versatile pieces are your best companion when the weather can't make up its mind.
At MR MARVIS, we're all about versatile wardrobe foundations. That's why we decided it was time to introduce not just one, but two stylish shirt jackets to our own lineup: The Wool Zip Shacket, a casual design with a zipped front that's made from boiled wool, and The Shacket, made from organic cotton twill with a timeless plaid pattern and a buttoned front.
So when do you wear these shirt-jacket hybrids, exactly? Shackets are ideal for those transitional months, but they're not exclusively designed for autumn or spring. As the weather cools down, you can also throw an overshirt over a cosy pullover and wear it under a heavier coat: a clever way to add warmth without compromising style.
When it comes to styling a shacket, the options are endless. Want to keep it casual? Wear it over a Heavy Tee, add your favourite Jeans, and slip into stylish Sneakers. For a dressier look, layer your shirt jacket over a classic Cotton Shirt and toss on some chinos, like The Coolerdays.
The Shacket is available in three timeless checkered colourways: blue Kings Arms, burgundy Red Lions and green Fox & Hounds. The Wool Zip Shacket arrives in classic beige Baristas, light grey Oysters and dark blue Cosmics this season.
