Now you went and made me Google it as I was going to "strenuously object"* and would have sworn he did. *- one of my favorite movie lines and use all the timePoint of order, Matlock wore a grey suit but I don't believe it was seercucker.
Turns out we are both right (underline is why it stuck in my mind)
Yes, Andy Griffith's character Ben Matlock, a criminal defense attorney on the NBC TV show Matlock (1986-1995), wore a seersucker suit. The suit was part of the character and was heavily distressed to look like it had garbage stains.
The suit's part of the character. As Andy Griffith explains it, it started out as a seersucker suit, but that didn't photograph well. Now, it's plain gray, and he has a batch of them, all the same.
To the original question, I own one and wear it occasionally for fun to "uppity summer events"
