Submitted in the Senate, considered, and agreed to without amendment and with a preamble by Unanimous Consent. (consideration: CR S3141; text: CR S3124)
This Senate resolution designates several seersucker-related observances for 2025: June 12 as "National Seersucker Day," every Thursday from mid-June through late August as "Seersucker Thursday," and the entire month of June as "Seersucker Appreciation Month." The resolution revives a congressional tradition that began in 1996 when former Senator Trent Lott started Seersucker Thursday, which was later restored in 2014 by then-Representative Bill Cassidy and the late Senator Dianne Feinstein after a brief hiatus. The measure recognizes seersucker as a lightweight summer fabric popularized in New Orleans in the early 1900s and celebrates it as "the working person's uniform" for warm weather. The resolution encourages senators, local governments, and all Americans to participate by wearing seersucker clothing on these designated days, and it requires no federal funding as it simply creates symbolic observances.
