Virgil No. 3 Suit in Blue Wool Quattro Hopsack

This is one of our very favorite hopsacks from Biella, a noted textile hotspot due to its alpine climate, the sheep population, and even the water quality. We call it Quattro for its 4ply construction (plied up in the warp and the weft,) its rustic 40s yarns, and, yeah, its Italian provenance. It's one of our go-tos for its strength, breathability, and resistance to wrinkling. The No. 3 jacket make has full canvas construction — the sine qua non of tailoring — with a special, structured 3-layer canvas that'll mold and meld to your body over time. And our Virgil model has a natural shoulder, a 3-roll-2 lapel, and a shorter body with no front darts at all. Think old-school 'sack suit,' but sexier. It's got a slightly more American feel than the Kincaid or the Landry. The trousers are cut in our original plain-front shape to complement the jacket, with a trim-but-not-tight leg that looks great with a cuff. But just like all of our tailored clothing, it's designed to take you from Mississippi to Manhattan to Milan without looking or feeling out of place.
