Seersucker in the Senate
In 1966, a tradition known as "Seersucker Thursday" was established in the U.S. Senate. On one Thursday in June, Senators make a fashion statement and show how to beat the heat.

The name seersucker comes from the Persian words meaning "milk and sugar," and ever since the first seersucker suit was made in 1907, it has been a popular summer style in the U.S. Senate, especially before the advent of air conditioning.

Seersucker in the Movies
Who can forget Gregory Peck in To Kill a Mockingbird or Tom Ewell romancing Marilyn Monroe in seersucker in The Seven Year Itch.
