This cardigan with patch pockets is crafted from an “Anni Albers” linen-and-cotton jacquard fabric featuring a checkered pattern. To kick off this decade, Patric chose to pay tribute to the designer who elevated weaving to an art form through her talent, her precision… and her involvement in the Bauhaus movement. Her works of art are now featured in numerous museums. It was Anni Albers’ aesthetic sensibility and her approach to textiles as raw material that inspired this linen and cotton jacquard. The complex weaving technique gives this striped pattern, rendered in muted tones, its full texture and depth. A magnificent garment that will flatter your taste for color and resonance (one might also think here of Klee’s paintings). For lovers of art and culture.
At hollington, we know that jackets don't have a monopoly on elegance—you can enjoy their virtues without feeling overdressed or overly formal. That’s why we’ve patiently developed the patch-pocket waistcoat, blending practicality and comfort in a single garment.
Our waistcoats are anything but the poor cousin of a jacket. We've been designing them with the same level of care since 1974, ensuring they offer just as much utility. And that’s saying something—this model is a true Swiss army knife, cleverly disguised beneath the clean lines of its construction.
Its cut mirrors that of a classic three-piece suit waistcoat: it fits close to the body and, without sleeves, allows full freedom of movement. For the best experience, we often recommend choosing one size down from your usual jacket size. If you wear a size 52 jacket, try the waistcoat in size 50.
The hollington waistcoat features a V-neckline, traditionally worn with the bottom button left undone. Its key features include a back made from the same fabric as the front, and no plait to maintain hollington’s streamlined aesthetic. It also has two side slits to ensure optimal freedom of movement, and its slightly plunging cut is flattering to the silhouette.
Inside, you’ll find a zipped chest pocket large enough for your wallet. On the outside, there are three stitched-on patch pockets, deep enough to carry everything you need—and so smartly designed, no one will guess how much you're carrying in such style.
