Hockerty's first Brand Ambassadeur is the Spanish Olympic champion Saúl Craviotto, five-time medalist in Kayak and on his way to Paris 2024. Therefore, not only Hockerty, known for tailor-made suits, leaves its comfort zone and created together with Saul a collection for him to feel comfortable also out of the water: Hockerty X Saul Craviotto. Hockerty X Saul Craviotto.

Saúl Craviotto is the Spanish athlete with the most Olympic medals
Father, policeman, kayaker and the Spanish athlete with the most Olympic medals won in his career, competing in Beijing 2008, London 2012, Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020. And what comes next? Well, it's time to move forward and face new challenges with his sights set on Paris 2024 to achieve 5 participations in the Olympic Games and compete for a sixth medal at the age of 40. Saúl is comfortable on the water, wearing sportswear that allows him to train and compete at the highest level. Outside of kayaking, in addition to spending time with his family and his profession, he regularly participates in events, galas and even television shows. It is on these occasions that Hockerty's tailor-made clothing plays a key role in making Saúl feel comfortable thanks to garments that are 100% custom-made for an athlete's body.

COMFORTABLE OUT OF THE KAYAK, TOO?
It is important to know what to wear in each situation. Knowing which garment and what fabric is right for you to feel comfortable and enjoy the occasion is key. In order to help Saúl expand his comfort zone, we have designed several fabrics inspired by his kayak. The subtle patterns that speak of Saúl's kayak when you look at the details up close, but at first glance blur into a light light blue, such as the fabric of the top shirts. In a limited edition (or while fabric lasts), Saúl Craviotto's two signature shirts are available on Hockerty.com. Likewise, Saul opted for classic wise dress shirts and light lilac tones that go fantastically with the selection of suits in different shades of gray, as well as suits in an extravagant blue and classic tuxedo in black, like the one he wore to the Spanish GQ Awards. A classic trench coat in beige completes the Saul Craviatto look. For the cold days Saul opted for a wool coat in brown with matching chest insert.

"Wearing tailored clothes I feel better, more at ease with myself, more agile. Moreover, I have a peculiar body because I am an athlete. My upper body is stronger than my legs. Having the possibility to wear tailored, comfortable and sustainable clothing is very nice and I feel confident with myself."

Although it may seem like a career full of successes, Saúl has not been exempt from having to face difficulties, tough moments and even defeats. He has faced situations in which he has had to leave his comfort zone in order to improve, gain milliseconds on the stopwatch and continue to give the best of himself. A learning process that allows us to expand our comfort zones.
The variety of Hockerty's products and the fact that they are all made to measure and to Saul's needs, allows especially athletes to find the right clothes for every occasion, regardless of weight and size.
