Happy Birthday to the Perfect Summer Suit | The Manual | JULY 2019
Ever one to recognize a great story opportunity, Haspel, while attending a trade show in Boca Raton, Florida, took a dive into the Atlantic … while wearing his own seersucker suit! His point was that the suit would be dry in no time, ready to wear again, without cleaning or pressing. True to his word, it was; and he wore the suit to the trade show dinner that very evening.
Haspel’s creativity, sense of innovation, and excellent taste all grew from the melting pot of cultures that make up New...
Seersucker rules the Senate. This year, not so much | RollCall | June 2020
Every year in June, on a warm and sticky Thursday, senators arrive at work looking like they’ve come straight from the Kentucky Derby. Gone are the standard dark suits of the winter months. Instead, they wear seersucker.
Walking the halls of the Capitol, they project a sense of gentility and ease. Why yes, they seem to say, this fabric is 100 percent cotton. Why yes, it is extremely cool. Why yes, these tiny stripes, blue and white and vanishingly thin, kind of make your head spin. Now let’s...

Kentucky Derby Style For Men | THE MANUAL | APRIL 2019
It’s practically the unofficial uniform of the Kentucky Derby, not to mention warm-weather dressing in general. While you can always go with the traditional blue stripe (or push your luck with green or purple), we like this neutral “Beignet Tan,” to function as the palette upon which the rest of your Derby Day outfit is assembled. If you really want to knock us out, go for the Magnolia White, but we do realize that’s a scary alternative where cocktails and mud may be involved. Haspel’s suit s...

Haspel launches new suit for Tiger fans | BR Business Report | SEPTEMBER 2019
The inspiration behind the suit, which is made in the U.S., was Haspel’s interest in creating a piece that embodied its Louisiana heritage and resembled their strong ties to Louisiana’s flagship university, Kastanos says.
“This is specific to LSU,” Swillie says. “Steve loved it.”
Helmke sported an early sample of the suit, which features a gold jacket lining and flat-front pants, in Austin during the weekend of the LSU-University of Texas game. The feedback was immediate and enthusiastic, wi...
Seersucker: What It Is, Why You Need It | FASHIONBEANS | MAY 2018
In 1909, it was introduced to the sartorial world by specialist American seersucker makers Haspel as the ultimate summer suit fabric. Born out of the New Orleans jazz movement, it became a look synonymous with the hazy southern states. Its Crescent City style was best captured by Miles Davis who personified this look on his At Newport 1958 album cover, demonstrating how to wear a soft-shouldered Italian-cut jacket with nonchalance. It was a heyday moment for the fabric and his louche approach...

We Love You, New Orleans - Exhibition | LA STATE MUSEUM | 2020
It's getting hot out there! The Haspel Brothers company, founded in New Orleans in 1909, designed this seersucker suit to help keep their customers cool in the 1950s. The company's founder, Joseph Haspel, originated the idea of making men's suits out of lightweight wash-and-wear cotton seersucker material, which ultimately led to seersucker becoming the quintessential southern man's warm-weather suit. A 1950s Haspel suit is one of the artifacts included in the exhibition "We Love You, New Orl...

The inspiration behind the suit, which is made in the United States, was Haspel’s interest in creating a piece that embodied its Louisiana heritage and resembled their strong ties to Louisiana’s flagship university, Kastanos...
