I'm thinking about ordering a summer blazer in this material. It fits my desire for a lightweight navy hopsack, but I've yet to see any examples of it made up. It feels nice in my hand, but I don't have the experience to judge a fabric from a tiny swatch. As you can see, it is quite transparent. If anyone has another suggestion for a summer blazer, I'd love to hear them. I'm looking for a fabric with significant texture in a nice navy blue.

Holland and Sherry has a range of wool/silk/linen hopsack. They change the colors each year. I've got an oatmeal jacket, and cloth for a blue/green jacket. It's from their range from two years ago I think. They have a website with limited illustrations of plain and pattern versions. I can't think of the name of the range.
