hopsack
Rough woven fabric
Hopsack is a coarse, loosely woven fabric with a distinctive basket-weave texture, originally made from hemp or jute for sacking hops.
The weave creates a slightly rough, breathable material now commonly used for casual suits and jackets: a tan hopsack blazer.
The texture reads as relaxed and summery compared to smoother wool weaves.
