My Uncle always use'ta say, 'You can't get no blood from a turnip.' .... He'd say the same thing about gettin' it from a stone, too.

I never said nothin' back to him. You don't want mess with no freak that's searchin' around that hard for blood.
Seersucker has about 5 days left before it's allowed in the US.
Wearing Seersucker outside of that lovely time between Memorial Day in May and Labor Day in September is considered a faux pas. I don't really buy it, and TBH anyone wearing seersucker should probably do it because they like the suit and not because they want to look fashionable.
That said, I'd like to get a seersucker getup one day.

where the hell are you getting ties that cost 10 dollars

Really?
Seersucker seems like the perfect summer style? It looks airy, light, and fun.
And you can get double the wearings per wash by turning them inside out.
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.

I had a look for pocket squares when I got the suit, but the only ones they seemed to have came paired with really ugly bowties (maybe not, but certainly not something I could pull off - casual bowties ) and cost a lot. So I passed.
Mostly retired. Unless you ask or it's something interesting.

The thing is that Seersucker was made out of the fabric of Overalls, they're traditionally a blue-collar working class kind of suit. That alone gives it a lot of restrictions it wouldn't normally have. Not to mention the garish colours that normally come with Seersucker mean it just doesn't fit a winter look. Both the garishness and the blue-collar bit mean that it's never been a "default" look. It's never really caught on as fashion.
Prozac, just get a white hanky. It's like $2 for a pack of four.

How much is an appropriate price for a good hat? I am considering making an extravagant and unnecessary purchase on a really cool one and would like an idea of how big an idiot I'm about to be.
I don't really know how the conversion rate is affected by purchase power so I'm gonna say...probably about half of what you'd spend on a nice shirt. Button ups here sit between $40 and $75 for things you'd wear with a suit. A good hat, all purpose should cost you between $20 and $40.
If you're going all purpose make sure you get muted colours so you can wear it with anything. Wintery hats are great in black and grey, summer hats rock in a muted cream.
