message: are there any other names for this fabric? this one makes me uncomfortable. 
The fabric is called seersucker. There is no other English name for it. It is an extremely common fabric in the South, and the name is seersucker. 
unsigned.

message: Looking for seersucker in the online Oxford English Dictionary I see references to the material being used in suits in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Scouring through the New York Times archives, I failed to spot any articles about W.O. Saunders purported publicity stunt. I would say that unless some actual reference to Saunder's popularizing seersucker can be found the reference to him should be removed.

message: I am not hopeful about finding an Outlook and Independent compilation published in  1935 by Alfred Emmanuel Smith. Alfred Emmanuel Smith, better known as Alfred E. Smith was the governor of New York before FDR was elected. Al Smith wasn't a publisher. I searched the Library of Congress web site (http://catalog.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?DB=local&PAGE=First) for the work you mentioned and did not locate it by title or name of publisher.Maybe it was Alfred Knopf you meant and not Alfred Smith? I would propose the following: unless a citation about Saunders popularizing seersucker be located the lines stating that he did be removed. Second, Since the "seersucker Thursday" page on the US Senate web site says that the etymology of seersucker is Persian (not Hindi). I suggest that the wikipedia article be changed to reflect this. I'll make these changes in a couple of days as long as this comment does not produce an angry torrent of objections. --Mnentro 23:56, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

message: The article says that the word comes from "Hindustani." Hindustani is a word meaning somone from India, which is also known as Hindustan in some languages, not a collective term for Hindi and Urdu, this is the first website that I have ever seen using this definition of the word.

message: The first reference (The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000), in support of the etymology, needs fixing. The link takes you not to the dictionary, but to Bartleby.com, and the dictionary is not even there.  --Mfwills (talk) 17:45, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

message: I pulled out the following line: The crinkle stripe may have slightly larger yarns to enhance the crinkle. 
It is vague and has no sources to back it, so I do not know if it is fact. I did not want to remove a weasel word and leave an untrue statement.

message: In Germany seersucker pillowcases, duvet covers and the like are fairly common while there is probably no clothing in that style at all. --92.202.123.146 (talk) 23:58, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

message: Is it my partial colourblindness, or maybe my monitor, or is the caption "Shirt from green/white seersucker fabric." incorrect and it should be blue/white? Or maybe it is an effect of viewing green/white from a distance that makes it look bluish? --91.209.142.224 (talk) 15:19, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
