This Deauville Hollington shirt is cut from a white linen and cotton crepe fabric. This vintage-style material was a last-minute find, sourced from a manufacturer near Florence. It is soft and subtly textured with very small checks, reminiscent of the comfort of a dressing gown or bathrobe—only with a far more elegant appearance, naturally! Opaque and in a bright optical white, it is a relaxed classic that pairs effortlessly with all your summer outfits. It will be comfortable to wear in hot weather, perfect for a mild summer.
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.
