NEW ORLEANS (press release) – Haspel, the originator of the seersucker suit, will celebrate National Seersucker Day on Thursday, June 11, with a two-venue celebration honoring America’s most iconic warm-weather fabric. In partnership with the legendary Grand Hotel in Mackinac Island, Michigan, and the historic Hotel Monteleone in New Orleans, Haspel will host simultaneous celebrations dedicated to all things seersucker, complete with cocktail receptions and a celebration of clothing made for a good time. The festivities will bring together seersucker enthusiasts, Haspel customers and guests at two of the country’s most celebrated hotels. Attendees are encouraged to don their favorite seersucker looks and raise a glass to the fabric that has defined summer style for more than a century.
At Hotel Monteleone – located in the heart of Haspel’s birthplace – guests will enjoy a spirited reception honoring the city where Joseph Haspel Sr. transformed seersucker from a practical workwear fabric into an American style icon.
“National Seersucker Day is a celebration of style and the joy of dressing well,” said Laurie Haspel, fourth-generation owner of Haspel. “A tradition my great-grandfather started nearly 120 years ago. Partnering with two historic hotels that embody hospitality and timeless charm makes this year’s celebration especially meaningful.”
