Our fine summer materials

3 min read

At Hast, the choice of a material is never decorative or driven by fleeting trends. Every selected fabric answers a precise question: does this fabric offer a unique benefit, at a level that fully justifies using it? For four of them, the answer is particularly clear. Discover what our fine materials truly bring to your wardrobe.

Giro inglese: natural stretch and the perfect drape

What is giro inglese?

Often little known to the general public, giro inglese (or a jersey knit with a distinctive structure) is a marvel of textile engineering. Thanks to its unique honeycomb weave, it offers natural stretch without any synthetic fibres. It stands out for its elegant, supple drape and remarkable resistance to creasing.

Why will you love it this summer?

It is the ideal fabric for the modern, active man. Imagine an ultra-breathable shirt that travels in your suitcase or accompanies you through a long day of meetings without ever creasing. Giro inglese structures the silhouette while ensuring complete freedom of movement.

Our Spring-Summer selection:

Timeless elegance: Opt for absolute comfort with our white giro inglese shirt or its alternative version, the white cotton giro inglese shirt, both essential under a suit.

Relaxed style: For sunny weekends, discover our navy giro inglese shirt.

The quintessential summer version: Enjoy the freshness of a short-sleeved cut with the navy giro inglese short-sleeved shirt, or add texture to your outfit with the textured navy short-sleeved shirt.

Hardy Minnis Fresco: the wool that defies the heat

What is Hardy Minnis Fresco?

Who said wool was reserved for winter? Fresco, from the prestigious British house Hardy Minnis, is a high-end worsted wool. It is woven in an open weave, creating an airy fabric that allows air to circulate freely through the fibres.

Why will you love it this summer?

Fresco is the best-kept secret among summer tailoring enthusiasts. Lightweight and cool, it wicks away moisture while retaining impeccable structure and a crisp drape. It ensures you stay elegant and cool, even at the hottest summer ceremonies.

Our Spring-Summer selection:

The bold summer suit: Pair our superb emerald Fresco wool jacket with its matching emerald Fresco wool pleated trousers for a distinctive, breathable and sophisticated ensemble.

Linen: the responsible fibre

What is Hast linen?

Linen is one of the oldest and most environmentally friendly fibres in the world. At Hast, our linen is grown without artificial irrigation and processed entirely in Europe. It is a living, thermoregulating, breathable and exceptionally durable material.

Why will you love it this summer?

Contrary to popular belief, linen does more than crease: it lives. It is a noble fibre with the unique ability to improve over time and with washing, becoming softer and more comfortable with every wear. It regulates your body temperature to keep you cool in full sun.

Our Spring-Summer selection:

Linen shirts: An essential for a relaxed wardrobe. Find the ideal colour and fit in our collection of linen and cotton shirts.

Lightweight trousers: Combine comfort and style with our range of linen and cotton trousers.

Ecovero: responsible fluidity without compromise

What is Ecovero viscose?

Ecovero completes our selection of exceptional materials. It is a certified viscose made from sustainably managed forests. Its rigorous manufacturing process halves the environmental impact compared with conventional viscose.

Why will you love it this summer?

Ecovero offers a responsible alternative with a silky feel. It is an incredibly soft, lightweight and particularly fluid fabric. It brings a beautiful drape to garments and a fresh feel against the skin, ideal for the hottest days of summer.
