The waistcoat shown here is cut in tuscan striped woollen fabric. This fine and supple woollen cloth was woven in Prato, near Florence. It holds a lovely, really soft touch. Its pattern is what Patric Hollington called "Tuscan Stripes". Of equal thickness, the slate grey and raw indigo stripes are highlighted, partitioned by a thick black line. The optical effect is striking! It will appeal to men attracted to graphic lines and contemporary hues.
You would lie to stay elegant but prefer wearing a waistcoat than a jacket, which sometimes looks overdressed? Then the patch-pocket waistcoat will become a central piece of your wardrobe.
Its cut is the one of a three-piece suit: it should be close fitting without ever restraining you. That is why we suggest you should pick a size smaller than your jacket’s size. If your jacket says 52, choose a size 50!
Hollington’s waistcoat shows a V-shape collar and is traditionally worn with the lower button open. The back fabric is the same as the front fabric and it has no plait to respect the pure aesthetics of the clothing line. It also holds two side slits allowing a perfect freedom of movement, and a slightly plunging cut.
Inside is a zipped chest pocket large enough to contain your wallet. Outside, three patch pockets are maintained by topstitched seams.
Hollington favours double, symmetrical seams to underline the architectural structure of the garment.
