Lithuania is a major producer of flax. 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, creating a faux-plain weave dominated by fuchsia and navy, interwoven with yellow, orange and green. It is a wonderful find in our quest for something new, 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.
