It is one of the most popular fabrics when it comes to the <\/span>tailoring<\/b> of<\/b> spring\/summer men\u2019s jackets and blazers<\/b> – they go with a shirt and a silk bow tie on casual work meetings, with a polo shirt and a t-shirt on more informal situations and with a thin sweater<\/strong><\/a> when temperatures go down. It is <\/span>suitable for any occasion<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If <\/span>good weather<\/b> is coming and you want to <\/span>renovate your wardrobe<\/b>,<\/span> a garment<\/b> in Hopsack could be the right choice: find when and how to choose it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s Hopsack<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s start from the origins of the word; the term comes from the <\/span>end-of-the-Nineteenth-century-English<\/b> hop-sack<\/i><\/b>, the sack for hops, and <\/span>it has referred for some time to jute<\/b>, the fabric in which the hop-carrying bags were made.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the passing of the years, the use has changed and <\/span>Hopsack is today a fabric for clothing, characterised by a very open weave<\/b>. Its special weave is basically a variation of the common plain weave in which the warp and weft create a simple checked pattern.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"hopsack<\/a>

This special making creates an <\/span>informal, sports and bright in aspect fabric<\/b>, with a <\/span>quite curious wavy effect<\/b>: a summer alternative to flannel or tweed which are used in winter blazer tailoring.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When and why you should choose it<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The weave structure, more open and loose, makes Hopsack an <\/span>extremely lightweight and breathable fabric<\/b>, <\/span>recommended for unlined garments<\/b>, such as blazers, in order for its properties to be highlighted. The quite rough aspect makes it the perfect choice if you are looking for <\/span>a casual and incredibly crease-resistant outerwear<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to wear in the office?<\/b> You can choose <\/span>a plain Hopsack<\/b>, so that you can easily match your clothing. A blue double-breasted Hopsack blazer, for example, is the passe-partout of good weather. Want to know more about how it matches? Read our<\/span> special post<\/span><\/a> on the men\u2019s style icon!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to make <\/span>your free-time wardrobe more stylish<\/b>, choose <\/span>a patterned Hopsack<\/b> \u2013 <\/span>with either small and subtle micro designs<\/b> where the weave stands out or <\/span>big patterns, such as the overchecked<\/b>. It is the right option for a clearly more casual garment, to wear on your free time with chinos in light colours or jeans and a polo shirt!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warnings: things you need to know<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Due to its open weave, <\/span>this fabric is really delicate <\/b>and sensitive to rubbing \u2013 this is the reason why it is <\/span>less used in elegant trousers tailoring<\/b>. Hopsack trousers risk indeed damaging or snagging easily on the crotch.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To conclude, the very loose and airy structure does make it breathable, but not <\/span>heat\/cold-proof<\/b>. That\u2019s why it is considered as a summer and spring fabric, less autumn and definitely not winter.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
