Seersucker Blazers OK for NYC BigLaw?

I realize this is a dumb question and I'm pretty sure I already know the answer, but are seersucker blazers acceptable attire for men in NYC Biglaw?

I'm considering buying a seersucker jacket (standard blue/white stripes) as a graduation present for myself, but I want to make sure I could actually wear it to the office. I did my 2L SA in a different market so I haven't gotten the chance to scope out the summer attire in this office or NYC generally. As I can tell it's a run-of-the-mill V30 with no particular reputation for being uptight or laid back.

Yes in a lot of offices but you gotta own it.

Literally this.

Know an associate at K&E who got fired for wearing a seersucker. Turned out it belonged to a partner, and he would just walk around wearing it, as if with impunity.
