Volia! Summertime New Orleans Seersucker is a rite of passage to US Senators - Seersucker Thursday!
In 1907 a New Orleans tailor made the first seersucker suit to make the summer wear more comfortable. He called the light weight, pale blue and white striped rumpled cotton fabric "seersucker" from the Persian words for "milk" and "sugar". The suits became widely popular because they retained their fashionably good looks even despite multiple washings that are necessary during the summer.
This tradition began with Mississippi US Senator Trent Lott

Seersucker keeps it cool, lightweight and stylish for the Southern Gentleman! And the ladies. I love my Seersucker dress. What are your traditions? And how do you beat the heat with style in the Summer?

I love some seersucker, but I couldn't pay my son $$$ to put some on. Such a shame. I love that look.
