This exceptional sport coat represents the pinnacle of modern tailoring, crafted from Westwood Hart's premium Super 130's 100% Australian merino wool in a distinctive hopsack weave. The fabric's basket-weave construction creates a subtle texture that adds visual depth and character whilst maintaining the refinement expected in contemporary business attire. This particular weave pattern provides excellent breathability and natural stretch, allowing the garment to move comfortably with your body throughout demanding days. The medium steel blue colorway with its inherent melange texture creates a sophisticated alternative to traditional navy blazers, offering versatility that extends from boardroom presentations to evening cocktail receptions. The natural properties of Australian merino wool ensure year-round comfort, providing warmth in cooler months whilst remaining breathable during warmer seasons.
Every element of this tailored sport coat has been carefully considered to deliver both aesthetic appeal and functional excellence. The classic notch lapels feature hand pick stitching that demonstrates traditional tailoring expertise whilst adding subtle texture along the edges. Straight flap pockets maintain clean lines and practical functionality, providing secure storage without disrupting the garment's silhouette. The dark navy horn buttons with distinctive light blue marbling create visual harmony with the steel blue fabric whilst adding a touch of individuality through their natural variations. The luxurious olive green bemberg silk lining provides exceptional comfort against dress shirts, reduces friction for easy wearing, and adds a sophisticated flash of color when the jacket is removed or when glimpsed at the cuffs and vents.
The customisation details elevate this sport coat from excellent to extraordinary. Contrast olive green accent buttonholes on the sleeve add a refined touch that speaks to bespoke traditions, with the last buttonhole receiving special attention as a hallmark of quality tailoring. This thoughtful detail, echoed in coordinating elements throughout the garment, demonstrates the level of personalisation possible with custom menswear. The hopsack weave itself serves as both a design feature and a practical benefit, creating a fabric surface that resists wrinkles naturally and maintains its appearance throughout extended wear. The texture catches light beautifully, creating subtle variations in tone that add dimension without being ostentatious.
When styling this versatile sport coat, consider pairing it with charcoal or medium grey trousers for a sophisticated business ensemble that maintains authority without the formality of a full suit. Navy chinos create a more relaxed yet polished appearance suitable for smart-casual environments and client dinners. Crisp white dress shirts provide timeless elegance, whilst light blue or pale pink shirts add warmth and approachability. Consider olive green accessories to echo the lining—perhaps a subtle pocket square or tie with olive accents. For footwear, dark brown leather shoes in chocolate or mahogany tones complement the steel blue beautifully, whilst black shoes maintain traditional business formality. Burgundy or deep navy ties work exceptionally well, as do textured knit ties in complementary earth tones.
This custom sport coat excels across multiple occasions where refined presentation matters. It's ideal for business meetings where you want to project confidence without the rigidity of traditional suiting, perfect for creative industry presentations, consultative client engagements, and professional networking events. The hopsack texture and steel blue color make it equally appropriate for cocktail receptions, semi-formal dinners, gallery openings, and sophisticated social gatherings where smart business attire is expected. The olive green lining adds a personal touch that becomes visible in more relaxed moments, demonstrating attention to detail that extends beyond immediate appearances. This is menswear that understands the modern professional operates across multiple contexts throughout any given day, requiring garments that transition seamlessly whilst maintaining impeccable standards of quality and style.
