Definition of Seersucker fabric, per Wikipedia online encyclopedia (wikipedia.org):

Cotton fabric, commonly striped, which is used to make clothing for summer wear. Seersucker is woven with wrinkles in it—this causes it to be mostly held away from the skin when worn, allowing efficient heat dissipation and air circulation. Seersucker was originally developed in India.

The word originates from the Hindi, Urdu, and Persian words "shir o shakar" meaning "milk and sugar."
