This shirt is crafted from 100% pure linen fabric, woven in Portugal, featuring irregular navy stripes set against an undyed, natural linen base. The fabric displays a characteristic chambray-like texture, inherent to high-quality linen yarns, offering breathability and lightness—particularly suited to warm climates. The vertical stripes are deliberately uneven, both in line definition and tonal depth, incorporating multiple shades of dark blue to create a refined, textured appearance. Designed for versatility, this piece can be styled with tailored suiting or dressed down with relaxed chinos.
The Deauville shirt first appeared at hollington in spring 2012. Designed to offer the comfort of a polo shirt while maintaining the style of our signature shirts, it was such a success that no season since has gone without it.
Its straight cut features a back slightly longer than the front – just like a polo. And similarly, it can be worn over the trousers, untucked, allowing the air to flow freely and keep you cool. The hem is rounded and slit at the sides. Combined with our signature ease pleat at the back, this cut offers a perfect drape, whatever movements your unpredictable daily life might demand.
The mao collar, slightly taller than the traditional version, can be fully buttoned – though many of you prefer a more relaxed look. At hollington, the button placket always ends at mid-body, so the shirt must be pulled over the head. A distinctive detail, certainly, but one that ensures, when seated, no fabric is pulled tight across the opening – sparing you from showing a midsection you'd rather keep to yourself.
This summer design features a carefully tailored 2/3 sleeve: generous in volume, it covers the elbow in a soft curve. If you’re not fond of this part of your anatomy, thank it – otherwise, just roll up the sleeves!
Last but not least, the two chest pockets: a highly practical feature for anyone who likes to keep a pen, phone, handkerchief, silk square, or other essentials close at hand.
