The English wool hopsack is about as foundational as tailoring gets- one we'd recommend to anyone and everyone. Part of our range of J.M. Classics, this cloth has a chunky, open weave that lets it breathe even in the warmest months, without sacrificing the structure a jacket needs. Available in both a 6x2 double-breasted and a 3-to-2 roll single-breasted.
Essential Pieces for the Height of the Season
There's something romantic about the effort of it- dressing well when the heat gives you every excuse not to. It would be easy enough to give in. Gym shorts and a t-shirt, done. It's hot, after all. Not just hot-scorching.
To make it as easy as possible, we went back to the source. Naples deals with real Summer heat, and the men there never stop dressing the part. If it works there, it'll work anywhere: crisp Irish linen, easy lightweight cotton shirting, breathable wool hopsacks. All available in our latest Summer collection; now available ready-to-wear in-store and online, and as always, we have plenty of cloth on hand for custom commissions.
Crafted by hand in Naples, the Waverly Jacket embodies the relaxed elegance of true Neapolitan tailoring. Its natural, unpadded shoulder and lightly canvassed chest move effortlessly with the body, while a half lining through the back ensures comfort you can feel from the first wear.
The cloth is a 100% linen in a tonal herringbone - subtle enough to read as a solid, while adding just enough visual depth to make it quietly interesting. Linen's natural breathability makes it an ideal choice for warmer days, and only improves with wear, softening into an easy, lived-in charm that's entirely its own
One of our perennial favorites for the Summer- we've taken a few of our most frequent custom commisions, a crispy Irish linen in chocolate brown and ivory, and made them available ready-to-wear. We love the way this cloth starts out stiff and slowly breaks in over time, getting better with every wear.
This high twist cloth is part of our J.M. Classics line, perennial staples which we carry year-round. Think of it as our house fabric, our most popular makeup, and the perfect travel suit. Available in a range of classic colors; charcoal, indigo, and our personal favorite, a unique char-brown.
