What's the deal with hopsack?

[j.b. Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close j.b.]

I recently got the balls to buy my first eBay suit...a navy hickey freeman , that fit nearly perfectly.


Well, now I've got the bug, and I want to try my luck again. There is another suit, actually from the same seller, with almost the same exact dimensions. The problem is, it is a gray "hopsack". I have no idea what that means, but when I googled it, a thread on the askandy forums came up, where everyone said that they wouldn't be caught dead in hopsack. Unfortunately they didn't say why, or what's really wrong with it.


Do you guys have any insights/advice?

It's just the fabric... It's a loosely woven rougher fabric, not a smooth worsted.

So, what's your opinion? Is it a "suitable" material or is it too casual? The way they were talking about it on Askandy, it sounded like a suit made of burlap.

It's a more casual fabric, like a tweed... A tweed suit isn't something you'd wear to a board meeting, but it's not that unusual.

I've a hopsack boglioli blazer; one of my favorites, though a bit heavier than I prefer for regular use here in FL. Not sure I'd want a whole suit made out of it, but as a blazer it's great with jeans or chinos and no tie.

@OnlyShawn -- you posting 5 hours ago (approx 4-5am Eastern) is worrisome. Do we need to hold a Dappered intervention?

I have a nice hopsack blazer. I wouldn't buy a suit in that fabric though, but that's because I don't really buy suits for casual wear.

I wouldn't mind more OnlyShawn posts. If I'm an enabler, so be it.

More OS posts, definitely a fan. More the timing than anything was the worry.

It's because I was in the UK. It was definitely NOT because I was up all night playing Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.
