Evaluating seersucker suit options
Hello there friends, I wanted to ask for your thoughts on some seersucker suit options and if they're a good bang for their buck.
I noticed that Lands' End is selling lounge suit jackets and lounge suit trousers as separates.
They have their 50% off deal going on right now, so I'm intrigued.
What really catches my eye is that they have 36S for their lounge suit jacket, and that these separates are machine washable

Although these are solid Navy and solid "vintage pine green," do you think these would be versatile?
I'm hoping to wear these to church, and other formal occasions.
For context, I live in the Pacific Northwest. A while back we had a heat wave that reached over 100F.
Since we're all dealing with climate change, I figured that I could get some seersucker lounge suits to adapt.
I also saw this post on Reddit that mentioned J.W. Bell:

They seem to have my size, and a more traditional blue stripe on white seersucker lounge suit.
The downside is that their lounge suit isn't machine washable, but dry clean only.

Do you think that this option is still a good value?
For reference I'd rather not spend more than 300$ on a seersucker lounge suit.
The tariffs by this current administration has made Spier and Mackay (S&M) less of a good value.
