In 1909 Joseph Haspel made the first seer sucker suit for men in New Orleans. Haspel’s goal was to make a suit for gentlemen while still beating the summer heat. Today the company continues to thrive in New Orleans, but the style has spread all over the south to help both men and women stay cool.
As we all know, I’m in the process of renovating our master bedroom, and clearly I didn’t have to go too far to find a gorgeous summer seer sucker bed skirt and bedding!
Since seer sucker originated for the working gentleman of the south, I guess I should mention some of the male seer sucker accessories that I lovin’.
I know I’m not the only one out there completely smitten with seer sucker. But maybe I’ve convinced a few more of you to dabble in a seer sucker wardrobe :-)
