Thanks to Haspel’s “Sport Your Seersucker” competition I get to spend 3 nights in NOLA! Wohoo! I’ll be going just after thanksgiving, so before you ask - no I’m not gonna sport my seersucker in November… However, what I will do is to share a) the stuff that’s gonna go into my suitcase, b) the experience itself and c) the hunt for a vintage Haspel suit.
