French Navy Hopsack Stripe
Description
Woven in England from exceptional Super 200's wool, this refined hopsack cloth combines remarkable lightness with exceptional breathability. Its open weave allows air to circulate naturally, creating a fabric that feels fresh, comfortable and effortlessly elegant while preserving the structure and presence expected from a truly exceptional tailored suit.
The subtle French navy stripe brings understated depth to the cloth, adding quiet character without ever overwhelming its timeless elegance. Sophisticated and versatile, it is a fabric designed to accompany life's most important moments with effortless refinement.
The Feeling
The first thing you notice is the freshness.
The open hopsack weave creates a beautifully dry, crisp touch that feels remarkably light beneath your fingertips. Air seems to flow naturally through the cloth, giving it a fresh, almost effortless sensation while retaining the unmistakable softness that only an exceptional Super 200's wool can offer.
As you put the jacket on, the fabric settles naturally around the body, moving with remarkable fluidity while maintaining an impeccably elegant silhouette. It feels cool, light and unrestricted—allowing you to remain comfortable from the first meeting of the day to the last glass of the evening.
This is the kind of cloth that feels as exceptional after twelve hours as it did the moment you first put it on.
Some fabrics are admired. The rarest ones become a pleasure to wear.

CRAFTSMANSHIP & TRACEABILITY
Every suit is individually designed in Paris and made exclusively to order. The cloth is woven in England using carefully selected European wool before being handcrafted by our tailoring partners. No stock. No mass production. Every garment is created for one client only.
COMPOSITION
This cloth is crafted from 100% pure wool, sourced from carefully selected sheep raised for the exceptional fineness and consistency of their fleece. Naturally breathable, resilient and thermoregulating, these premium fibres provide outstanding comfort, an elegant drape and remarkable durability. It is the quality of the raw fibre that gives exceptional cloths their distinctive character and longevity.
CARE
To preserve the exceptional qualities of this cloth, dry clean only. We recommend professional cleaning no more than once a year, unless necessary. Always use a low-temperature iron with a pressing cloth, or have the garment professionally pressed to protect the natural fibres.
