I grabbed the white Alfons Cotton. Definitely not as transparent as some models which I love.

Another pic of last night's outfit. Movie theater bathroom mirror shot lol. I really like this jacket.

For those thinking about the navy hopsack Neo, I cannot recommend it enough. Got it last year and it has served me well as a great business casual piece.

It also performs well in the heat/humidity. I brought it with me to my internship in Singapore and wore it around two to three times a week.

@spiermackay

Rick, can you check on an MTM shirt order for me? It's been over six weeks; I emailed support on Tuesday asking for an ETA but did not receive a response. I'll PM the order number.

@Zanification Would you wear the trousers with it to make it a full suit?

 

[Torzano]

@spiermackay is the regular navy hopsack that just came out using pictures from last year? I thought the notches on the lapels were changed. These look like last years.

You didn’t ask me, but I wouldn’t and don’t plan on purchasing the pants. If I’m reaching for a navy suit, it’s a formal enough occasion that I would feel like hopsack was too casual of a material. If I’m reaching for hopsack, it’s for an occasion where I’m not underdressed wearing a blazer and pants (not to mention a blazer with patch pockets).

I also have a very nice navy suit already (S&M navy Guabello 120’s), so YMMV.

This is the second time I have had to look up what ymmv means this week. I forgot.

Looks great. Was it the slim fit? It seems like you were going for the close to the body look? Or was it contemporary fit?

 

[tricky]

Can those who own the latest Neo cut confirm if it fits the same as the standard 2 button? Or do they feel different in areas?

@Zanification Would you wear the trousers with it to make it a full suit?

I would, however not with their current offered cut as I personally prefer a higher rise, side tabs and pleats. I also wouldn't wear a hopsack suit to anything serious or pair it with oxfords. The cloth is inherently casual and hopsack trousers tend to bag around the knees and hips, giving off a slightly indolent appearance. But I think a hopsack suit is great for something casual and can see it pairing very well with a long sleeve polo and loafers.

Hahaha I am sure you will get a lot of wear out of it!

Thanks! It's a slim fit and it does fit quite close to my body but not overtly so. My S&M Navy MTM suit jacket fits slightly slimmer. I am aware of the pulling occurring across the buttons. It is mostly from my poor slouched posture in the photo, rather than the jacket being too tight.
