It almost looks like the navy sweaters where it has like a purple/navy hue to it. Unique compared to the traditional dark almost black navyNot sure, tbh. But it looks like the perfect bright shade of navy. I have several navy (hopsack) jackets. But they're all dark/midnight. This one would definitely fill a void in the navy department in my wardrobe.
Hmmmm, wonder if this fabric would be a better year round navy sport coat compared to the SS Angelico Navy Hopsack for me in Canada...Last years version had the patch breast pocket, it's a heavier hopsack - a really nice fabric.
