Navy Hopsack Sport Coat

Three Ways: The Navy Hopsack Sport Coat

Posted on August 18, 2017April 17, 2018 By Drew

With fall just around the corner, it’s time to start talking about transition pieces. And one of the most versatile items available is the navy hopsack sport coat or jacket. I grabbed this one for myself just the other day. The hopsack sports jacket is the perfect summer alternative to your traditional Brooks Brothers blazer type jacket. Hopsack is a fabric made from wool, but with a looser weave making it ideal for summer. Think of hopsack as the blue blazer of the summer. For example, I think wearing a navy blazer with jeans and a crisp white shirt is the perfect way to style up a simple outfit, but I wouldn’t wear it in August unless I wanted some major sweat problems.

What makes the navy hopsack sport coat so versatile is that when the cooler fall weather sets in, you can continue to wear it with just a little layering or by wearing a heavier weight shirt like an oxford or a twill. So I’ve pulled together three outfits that can be worn right now, but with a little tweaking, they can last all the way to winter. Then, feel free to break out that blue blazer.

In the past week and a half I’ve post five different outfit on Instagram, while not writing too many posts. I did, however, get a few questions on what some of the clothes I was wearing were and where to buy them. So I thought it might be a good idea to run through those pictures and provide that requested information.

What Underwear Do I Wear?

Over the past few months (and for probably even longer), I’ve been trying to figure out what the best underwear for me is. My trials have run the gamut. I tried boxers shorts, which always seem to get too bunchy making them especially uncomfortable in the hot months. Boxer briefs…
