Summary

This resolution officially designates several periods in 2025 to celebrate seersucker fabric. Specifically, it names June 12, 2025 , as "National Seersucker Day," every Thursday following this date through the last Thursday in August 2025 as "Seersucker Thursday," and the entire month of June 2025 as "Seersucker Appreciation Month." The resolution acknowledges seersucker's introduction to the United States in the mid-19th century and its popularization by New Orleans businessman Joseph Haspel. The Senate recognizes seersucker as a lightweight, hard-wearing fabric, ideal for hot summer months, and notes its revival in Congress in 2014. It encourages Senators to support these designations and invites local governments to partner with clothing industries and enthusiasts to promote the wearing of seersucker. Ultimately, the resolution encourages all people of the United States to wear their warm-weather finest on these designated days and throughout the appreciation month.
