For the fifth time in a row, Hast and Nona Source bring their expertise together around a shared belief: the finest materials always deserve a new story.
From the beginning, we have stood for a considered men’s wardrobe, transparent and made to last. With Nona Source, the platform that gives new purpose to dormant stocks from the LVMH group’s leading luxury houses, we take another step in that pursuit of excellence.
This latest chapter celebrates a distinctive approach to design: luxury in reverse. Rather than drawing up a design and then looking for a fabric, we start with rare fabrics that already exist to create timeless pieces with an impeccable drape.
Luxury in reverse: reinventing textile design
Starting with exceptional fabric
In the traditional ready-to-wear model, a garment’s design determines the order and production of new rolls of fabric. With Nona Source, we turn that logic entirely on its head.
We begin by selecting exceptional fabrics that have already been woven, carefully kept in the workshops of leading luxury houses, before adapting our signature cuts to the texture, weight and natural drape of each material. This close dialogue between fabric and construction allows us to offer silhouettes with haute couture refinement, conceived with a fair, transparent price in mind.
A practical commitment to more responsible fashion
Making use of what already exists means avoiding the production of new raw materials while considerably reducing the environmental footprint of our clothes. This Act V builds on the thinking behind our previous editions, showing that aesthetic ambition and environmental responsibility are no longer at odds: they complement each other.
A journey through textile craftsmanship around the world
For this autumn-winter 2026 capsule, eight exceptional fabrics guided our hands. Each carries the heritage of a local textile-making tradition:
- French wool cloth: dense, warm and protective, ideal for giving outerwear its structure.
- British waxed cotton: textured and weather-resistant, a hallmark of refined outdoor clothing.
- Italian cashmere: incomparably soft, with a lightness and warmth ideal for the colder months.
- Japanese cotton and mohair: a subtle pairing of accomplished technical craftsmanship and distinctive texture.
The eight pieces of Act V
This capsule comprises eight distinctive pieces, cut in contemporary proportions and designed to be worn season after season without losing their appeal.
Outerwear: structure and protection
The long belted coat: cut from substantial wool cloth, it makes a confident statement while offering excellent protection against the winter cold. Its belt lets you adjust the silhouette, from formal to more relaxed.
Two jackets with distinct characters: one explores the water-repellent surface of British waxed cotton; the other draws on textured wool for a more understated urban look.
Pleated trousers: the art of the drape
Three pairs of wide pleated trousers: cut from supple fabrics that move with you, they strike a balance between tailored comfort and modernity.
Pieces with character: patterns and delicate knits
The Prince of Wales check overshirt: a versatile piece to wear as a mid-layer or a lightweight indoor jacket, distinguished by the classic, timeless pattern of its weave.
The virgin wool Henley: an elegant alternative to a winter T-shirt. Its buttoned neckline and fine jersey bring warmth to layered outfits.
A strictly limited edition: first come, first served
By its nature, working with dormant stock comes with a constraint: quantities are strictly limited by the length of fabric available.
Once the stock of wool cloth or waxed cotton is gone, the piece cannot be made again. Choosing a piece from Act V means acquiring a rare piece, made with care and designed to stay with you for years.
