Not that there is… yeah there is
They're aggressively ole miss. I used to have a pair of shorts that were just comfortable as 17. I think the suit is a good look for Easter or like a Kentucky Derby party, but otherwise if you're gonna rock it routinely, you'd better be prepared for that to be your whole identity.
Basically, it's like a bow tie.

I wouldn’t call them OM, I call them segregationist south couture and just so happens many Rebels are in to that. To pull it off you either need to talk like you’re in a John Gresham movie or be a ghey southerner. I am neither so not for me
The first impression on seeing this suit is usually, “I’d like to buy this b@$tard for what he’s worth and sell him for what he thinks he’s worth.”Too Ole Miss for me.
If you go to the Delta Council annual meeting you’ll fit right in.
If you wear it, just remember it's required that you must start every sentence with, "I say, I say..."
Seer suckers are slightly more comfortable in the heat than traditional suits, but no more so than linen.Too Ole Miss for me.
I had to attend an outdoor wedding in Las Vegas, in June. I’ll admit, I bought a sear sucker suit and wore it. I turned the drawl up to Foghorn Leghorn for the entire day/night. I bet people are still talking about me.
When it comes to seersuckers, it has always been, and shall always be, a no for me, dawg.
You’ve got a day or two a year that they’re acceptable, the rest of the time the dude wearing it just looks like he’s trying to hard.
There has only been one person that could rock a seersucker suit.
Used to be in my regular Sunday rotation from Easter to Labor Day. For years, it was ropers and wranglers during the week and suites on Sunday. Now it's ropers/wranglers everyday + a sports jacket on Sunday.
And as Yeti said you wear white bucks with it and a lighter colored belt too.

This guy wore it well... unfortunately he spawned too many OM lawyer wannabe-Atticus-Finches. I guess in some ways, they could be similar.
Point of order, Matlock wore a grey suit but I don't believe it was seercucker.
That's whats commonly referred to as a "marry'n and bury'n suit" . I've got one of those too
I always thought this was strange. My folks used to let me watch The Night Stalker but wouldn't let me watch Night Gallery. For any of you that watched Night Gallery, would it have been any scarier than The Night Stalker to an 8 year old?
I think OM lawyers are much more likely to look up to the prosecutor in that movie/book.
I didn't read the sequel, but I read that Atticus was revealed to be a segregationist, so there's that.
