In 1909, Joseph Haspel Sr. opened Haspel, a textile factory specializing in lightweight men’s suits. Haspel — known colloquially as “the Factory” by neighbors and workers — was located at the intersection of Broad St. and St. Bernard Ave. until production moved to Tylertown, Mississippi, where it stayed until the brand was bought out by the Palm Beach Company in the late 1970s.

A DIFFERENT STRIPE
Tuxedos are always dapper, but in the heat that lingers from May to September, wearing a wool one is akin to wearing a hair shirt. That’s where the seersucker tuxedo by Haspel comes in. The company’s take on the tux features seersucker in formal navy and black. Pair it with a classic tuxedo shirt, a hand-tied bow tie, and a white silk pocket square by Brooks Brothers and you’re ready for anything.
