This shirt is made from an ochre-coloured faux-plain pure linen fabric. Lithuania is a major producer of linen. This new manufacturer grows, designs and weaves shirting fabrics of the very highest quality. The fabric featured here is composed of threads in different colours that create a faux-plain weave dominated by ochre and bronze, interwoven with yellow, orange and greige. It is a wonderful discovery in our quest for renewal and will be a perfect addition to your summer wardrobe.
Designed shortly after the opening of the first shop in 1974, this shirt is the quintessential hollington classic. Worn on its own, with a waistcoat or a jacket, tucked in or left out, its straight cut adapts effortlessly to every style.
The back pleat gives you complete freedom of movement – or the freedom to do absolutely nothing. In short, it does the work for you.
Its Mao collar is a house signature. Slightly taller than a traditional version, it offers the same comfort and style, with just a touch more elegance.
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.
As for the cuff placket, it features two buttons – a backup in case one pops off, as they always seem to do at the worst possible moment.
Last but not least, its two chest pockets: a practical bonus for those who like to keep a pen, phone, handkerchief, silk square, or any other essentials close at hand.
