Even far apart, what binds us has not changed: beautiful clothes and the desire to be closer to our customers. While we all share a great sensitivity to fabrics, colours and the quality of a garment, each member of the team has their own distinctive style.
Today, we invite you to discover our favourite pieces, the ones that go everywhere with us (we even wear wool in summer...). Step into the wardrobes of Thomas, Maxime, Emmanuel, Samy and Christophe!
Emmanuel, Head of Logistics
" I am more into casual shirts than formal ones, easy-going, you could say. People often tell me I look younger than my age, and that is probably why! Working for your own company also allows a certain freedom. So you will often see me in a casual shirt, jeans and trainers. With a fine wool jumper or a sweater. "
- My rust cotton work jacket. For its rather original colour, yet one that is really easy to pair! It is perfect when I do not feel like overthinking an overly complex outfit.
- My light denim shirt. I have worn it so much, in every season!
- My Japanese denim shirt. It is actually a prototype that we had not released at the time... that is the great advantage of fittings:)
- My grey Levi's jeans. They go with everything, and are ultra-comfortable.
- My Belledonne trainers. The latest pair I treated myself to. I wear almost nothing but sneakers; I think I was traumatised during my first jobs.
Samy, communications and marketing manager
" I would say my look is casual chic. Both smart and relaxed. Serious without taking myself too seriously. At the moment, I like pairing a work jacket with a casual shirt or a t-shirt, certainly one of my favourite combinations! "
- My green wool work jacket. One of our winter bestsellers, which quickly became an essential for me!
- My raw denim shirt. An easy-to-wear piece, smart and relaxed
- A pair of Jimmy Fairly glasses. Basic with a twist (while waiting for summer)
- My grained leather card holder. I slip it everywhere; it is perfect, both discreet and practical!
- A light-coloured lightweight pair of chinos. Super comfortable, I rotate between my different chinos, preferably light-coloured ones too
- A slightly colourful pair of Garçonne & Chérubin trainers
Maxime, customer relations manager
" I am a complete clothing enthusiast, both for the style and the technical side, with original fabrics, or simply the work on the cut. I also have a few really standout pieces that have stayed with me for years. Day to day, though, I tend to keep things fairly classic, with easy-to-wear styles. When I am not bringing out my three-piece suit for work... "
- My 100% merino wool jumper. Very comfortable and versatile, I wear it with jeans for a relaxed outfit or with flannel suit trousers for a more formal look.
- My hemp shirt with a Mao collar. A lightweight, elegant shirt for summer!
- My wool flannel jacket. A silky feel and guaranteed comfort! I like wearing it with a jumper or a checked shirt and jeans for a workwear look.
- An airnet biker jacket. A rather original piece in a highly technical fabric, visually comparable to a honeycomb weave. I wear it with a white t-shirt and a pair of boots.
- Leather Tassel Loafers. For an unapologetically preppy look.
Thomas, Head of Production
" So, you should know that I am my brand's biggest supporter. It is no surprise, then, that a huge part of my wardrobe is Hast. And I am production manager, so let me tell you, I always put forward things I like!"
- My formal chambray dress shirt. A style we developed recently, and today I wonder what took us so long. It is the perfect balance between classic style and a more casual touch.
- My navy blue jumper. My ultimate staple. To wear anytime.
- My corduroy work jacket. For its reassuring feel. Corduroy reminds me of the countryside and my childhood, like a little Proustian madeleine...
- My green chinos. I wear them summer and winter alike; no need to think in the morning, they are perfect whatever the occasion.
- My formal shirts. There are always some in my wardrobe, even in the middle of lockdown!
Christophe, digital manager
"I have a fairly classic style, with timeless pieces. I like masculine elegance and so-called "sartorial" style, and in that sense, my purchases are often carefully considered and researched. I see my clothes as a long-term investment. So I take the time to look closely at the fabric and try a piece with different outfits before treating myself to it. Given the context, I am wearing more comfortable pieces at the moment, with casual shirts in Oxford or linen and cotton."
- My Hast linen and cotton shirt. It keeps me cool in summer but is actually very easy to wear all year round under a jumper. I chose it in sky blue, to wear with everything.
- My blue cotton work jacket. It instantly elevates an outfit and brings a cool yet elegant touch.
- My Naked and Famous jeans. I actually have several. The denim is sublime and develops a particularly beautiful patina over time. I should point out, though, that the styles I currently wear have already been well softened by at least 1 year of wear. Otherwise, I would not recommend them for now!
- My Crockett and Jones brogues. I am a fan of this brand, which makes magnificent shoes. These brown brogues go very well with chinos or a fine pair of raw jeans.
