Hopsack?

I commissioned a beautiful Hopsack double-breasted sport coat for a customer this week. (What’s up, CW!)

I always love Hopsack and thought it might be an excellent time to shed some light on this versatile, great for a sport coat / suit type weave.

What is Hopsack?

Hopsack is not really a type of fabric, but a type of weave. It’s a basket-like pattern with subtle variations of colors between the threads. The hopsack weave is not too tight, so it is a very breathable option

Some benefits of Hopsack…

Light and breathable: Constructed with an open weave, Hopsack made with natural fibers is light and breathable. It’s often considered great for spring and summer, but works year round in my book.

Excellent for travel: Hopsack is ideal for travel as it is easy to fold, and is wrinkle resistant. The fabric tends to “spring back to life” when shaken out.

Versatility: You can’t go wrong with a hopsack suit, as you can also wear it as a separate, remarkable for the business casual set.

So, if it’s time to refresh a sport coat or suit and you’ve never owned Hopsack, it might be a good time.

I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Lastly, a suit or sport coat in hopsack is a timeless look, which is always a win at ABBEYDALE.
