This hollington jacket is cut in a summer stretch cotton twill. A must-have fabric to enjoy sunny days. Neither too light nor too heavy (350g), our cotton serge is piece dyed. Thus the color is dense and assumed. The twill weave allows to obtain a slight relief – yes canvas are sometimes boring – and recalls our attachment to workwear. The addition of elastane gives the necessary comfort to face the vagaries of everyday life. In short a classic with allure and that hides well his game. Over time, our twill will age advantageously.
Refined season after season since its creation in the early 1980s, the Tyrol jacket is one of our iconic styles. Like the well-kept secret it is, the sophistication of its cut is entirely concealed by the purity of its lines — a hallmark of the house.
Its Nehru collar — slightly higher than a Mao collar and finished with a notch — is the key to its elegance. Better known as “Pandit,” Jawaharlal Nehru was a leading figure in India’s independence movement. He was instrumental in the founding of a modern and secular state, and also had the good taste to wear shirts and jackets with a collar similar to that of hollington garments. Unless, of course, it was the other way around.
Originally, the Tyrol was a loose-fitting, straight-cut jacket. A few years ago, we developed its sister version with a slightly more tailored silhouette to meet the desire for a closer-fitting style. Naturally, nothing was sacrificed in terms of comfort, and its back pleat still allows the same freedom of movement as the original cut.
Italian artisanal quality is reflected in the stitching of this jacket, with every finishing detail crafted by hand in small-scale workshops - a testament to hollington’s commitment to excellence and traditional craftsmanship.
Because at hollington every detail is carefully thought out, the buttons are made from natural materials. They are crafted from horn or corozo - a natural ivory extracted from the albumen of the palm fruit.
Its three characteristic patch pockets are both deep and discreet, securely attached with impeccable stitching. This double and symmetrical seam respects the garment’s architectural structure.
Inside, two pen pockets and four zipped pockets effortlessly accommodate everyone’s many essentials.
