'Tis furnace-hot and sauna-steamy here in the Twin Cities. I need four more MUSA seersuckers! Bring 'em back! I bought some non-MUSAs and there's just no comparison. The MUSAs are more puckery and better weight and better details. Why oh why didn't I get some plaids when I had the chance? Just in case, I'd take a small or a medium...

I just delved into my closet and came out with a total of 4 (four)
rayon shirts in loud but tasteful patterns -- ta dah! Each good for at
least 4 hours of riding in hot weather over two days including daytime
casual wear during non-riding hours and at least a single stint as
pyjamas during the intervening night. (Yes, I bathe. And I usually let
my shirt air while I sleep in something else.)

AND I just discovered several silk dittos and today's ditto (21 miles)
is so far neither steamy nor stinky. And of course I do have 2 or 3
seersuckers: will have to compare these with those.

Same here! (It's my go-to shirt for summer fly fishing too).
Another just in case, I'd take a large...

p.s. off my bike for six weeks because of back problems, but looking forward to riding again in some heat!

Yes! Are you listening/reading Grant? Please bring them back. I recently picked up a seer-sucker trail shirt from LLBean but would prefer a MUSA one as they had nice features and styling.

I've been riding in polo shirts recently, and liking that, but I do
miss my back jersey pockets when I do that.

Wasn't aware these are not on the site presently. I have one from
Riv, one from some other place. I like them both, but I like other
long-sleeve cotton shirts for summer riding too.

Oddly I find that seersucker becomes somewhat uncomfortable indoors
(sans A/C). Anyone else find that?

I was asked Riv about getting the shirts back in last Summer or Fall. I was told, "No we don't have plans, but keep an eye on the web site." Yeah, 9 or 10 months ago. If I'd a known how great those shirts are, I would have bought a half dozen instead of just one. Lesson learned!

I have a bunch of bamboo rayon. At the time they were just Shirts On
Sale but they are good on bikes. Lately I've taken to wearing white
billowy dress type shirts. People look at me a little differently,
maybe they think I'm a Mormon.

Another seersucker morning in Indianapolis. On the morning commute it was 83 degrees with 67% humidity, making it feel like a steamy 87 degrees. I suspect it is very different where Patrick is! In keeping with the tradition of photographic evidence, a picture of my regular commute is attached. Bob

I like and have used two MUSA seersucker shirts for several years, but they are rather heavy and thick and hot. For the really hot days I love my Patagonia A/C shirts that are on sale now
It is made from a very light crinkly organic cotton. I (red headed) have never sunburned through it. It rides great with the shirt tail out, looks good without ironing, and looks good at the office tucked in. I now have three f these in different prints. Of course, short sleeves are a disadvantage for the arms.

I've really been liking the LL Bean Cool Weave Trail Shirt I got a few weeks back. They're still on sale and still available. I'm gonna pick-up a second one as it makes a per
