Another summer favorite, again cotton, but instead of madras and all it's patchwork stitching, seersucker which is just as comforting. These thrift stores are producing some great finds. This is an especially good example because of the details.
Jacket body is lined in cotton, sleeves in a rayon and with Hong Kong finished edges
Cuff with vent and functional buttonholes (although mine would be prettier with my vintage buttonholer)
There is no reason you can't use a basic jacket pattern and add these details.

Great jacket, you have a great source that is for sure. And the madras is transporting me back to 1965! Love it.
I think I need to move to Maine now, as I sit here typing this wearing my seersucker pants and madras shirt.
You do seem to have a preppy-Northeast vibe going on versus the Lilly Pulitizer! ((((insert ironic smile here))))
Ooh, I love the grosgrain and stitch detail! I have to remember that.
Clio - Grosgrain is a good option when you don't want to make a self fabric tubing for the hanger!
Corinne - I think I need to find one of those Nantucket Basket Purse, then I'll start packing.
