The Seersucker Swims

We all know a tiger can’t change his stripes. But you can! Swap your organic cotton seersucker shorts for our brand new swim shorts: The Seersucker Swims. Striped, stylish, timeless & stretchy.

In 2018, we launched our first swim short. Over the past years we have introduced many new colors and prints, but the swim version of The Seersuckers is the first introduction made from a totally different fabric. The sustainable, high-quality 4-way stretch fabric consists of recycled polyamide (36%), organic cotton (31%), polyester (27%), and elastane (6%). The combination of quick dry and stretch is simply unique.

Dream away of your next vacation to the Mediterranean, or even to the tropical other side of the world… Envision those white sand beaches and ice-cold cocktails. Get yourself a pair of our striped swimmers and enhance the anticipation even more…

For the introductory collection of The Seersucker Swims we handpicked six stunning colors to pair a white stripe: light blue, dark blue, bright blue, green, yellow, and brick red. These classic combos look as sophisticated today as ever. Which one will you choose?

    The Seersuckers

    Looking to combine modern comfort and sophistication with a touch of vintage glamour? Your search ends with The Seersuckers. MR MARVIS' new trousers are made from the same organic cotton seersucker fabric as our striped favourites, The Short Seersuckers and modelled after our relaxed summer trousers, The Linens. These breathable warm-weather trousers are guaranteed to make you stand out. There's a reason we call them our 'statement stripes'!

    Seersucker is a famously comfortable and breathable fabric, making it the perfect choice for the warmest days of the year. Better yet, our versatile and stylish striped trousers can be worn cuffed for a more relaxed look to match any sun-soaked occasion.

    The Seersuckers are easily paired with any of our marvellous tops. For the ultimate summer look, combine our striped heroes with our always airy and breathable Piqué Tee.

    The Seersuckers launch in a palette of eye-catching MR MARVIS colourways, ranging from the soft pink Decks to the dark blue Catamarans.

    How we're balancing out our carbon footprint

    Just over one year after launching our partnership, we’re excited to share more about our on-going collaboration with Justdiggit, a grassroots organisation that fights global warming through regreening projects in Africa. Justdiggit joins forces with local partners and communities in their mission to restore dry, degraded land within the next ten years.

    As part of our ambitious goal of becoming net zero by 2030, we’ve been balancing out our carbon footprint through regreening projects with Justdiggit since April 2021. These projects, however, go way beyond carbon sequestration: they aim to rehabilitate degrading landscapes on a large scale, benefiting nature, biodiversity and local communities.

    ABOUT JUSTDIGGIT

    So why did we decide to partner with Justdiggit? In addition to its incredible achievements so far, Justdiggit sets itself apart by focusing on restoring degraded land – tree stumps, specifically – rather than planting new forests, which has a lower survival rate. The organisation uses proven Sustainable Land Management techniques to enable tree stumps to regrow into full-fledged trees. These stumps already have established root systems, and as they’re often indigenous to the land, they’re well adapted to the hot, dry climate. This strongly increases their survival rates in comparison to new trees planted. In Central Tanzania, this intervention is locally referred to as Kisiki Hai, which translates to Treecovery. Restoring vegetation in dry, degraded areas benefits the soil’s water availability, as the root systems make the land more porous, which means more water is able to seep deep into the soil. Strong vegetation also prevents erosion and flooding and improves overall soil health, allowing plants and trees to continue growing.

    SO WHAT’S NEXT?

    We’re excited to continue our partnership with Justdiggit, balancing out our carbon footprint while supporting them in their efforts to regreen Africa. Our primary focus, however, is and will remain on reducing our emissions, as we work towards becoming net zero in 2023. Stay tuned!

  • Environnemental assessment

    Environmental impact assessment

    Since 2022, we’re working with BCOME to calculate the environmental impact of our products. On our website, you will find the environmental assessment of every product on its specific product page. We use these scores to determine reduction targets and to compensate for our emissions. The assessment scores every item on four variables: Global Warming, Water Scarcity, Eutrophication and Abiotic Depletion. We’ll quickly go through these different concepts and explain how to interpret each of them.


    Global warming

    This is the total of all greenhouse gases emitted throughout the supply chain, expressed in a CO2 equivalent. This impact area includes other greenhouse gases, like methane, too (e.g. from livestock). The total greenhouse gas emissions are translated into a CO2 equivalent. Note therefore, that the Global Warming score does not show direct CO2 emissions. It also includes other greenhouse gases and therefore gives a higher impact score than you would get when you only measure direct carbon emissions.

    Water scarcity

    This measures the impact of the water usage for a certain product, on global water scarcity. This impact score is measured by taking the direct water consumption and multiplying it with a factor dependent on the geographical location where the water is consumed. We do this, instead of simply counting direct water consumption, to give a more accurate idea of the actual impact of a product. This means that the score is not representing direct consumption. While a product might need 10 litres of water, the impact on water scarcity can be equivalent to the use of 100 litres of water. Because one litre of water used in a place where it’s much more scarce, means a much higher impact on global water scarcity than that same litre used in a place where water is abundant.

    Eutrophication

    Maybe a less known issue, but even so important because of its devastating potential, is eutrophication. This is a chain reaction resulting from the use of fertilisers and pesticides. These (chemical) resources protect the crops on the fields and help them grow. But when they trickle down into the earth, they finally end up in lakes, rivers and seas. There, it forms a feeding ground for bacteria such as green algae. The algae thrive under these conditions, which results in an abundance of green algae. As an effect, a thick layer of green pulp forms on the surface, covering it off from sunlight and oxygen, causing organisms underneath to die. In short, the use of fertilisers, pesticides and other chemicals that end up in nature can cause whole ecosystems to break down. We compare these scores with washing cycles, another - more familiar - practice that incurs eutrophication.

    Abiotic depletion

    This relates to the use of fossil energy sources. Although many of our suppliers are working on installing solar panels and other forms of sustainable power sources, there’s still a considerable amount of energy coming from fossil energy sources. Also the use of synthetic materials, such as polyester and elastane requires abiotics and therefore has an impact on this score.
